Approvers Actions Approval Process in Oracle Service Registry

• If an entity exists only on the discovery registry then it is copied to the publication registry. • If an entity exists only on the publication registry then it is preserved. • If an entity exists on both registries, then the publication registry takes priority over the discovery registry. Publication Priority Example Before synchronization, structures A and X exist on the publication registry and structures X and B exist on the discovery registry. The Publication Priority synchronization copies structure B to the publication registry. Structure X on publication registry remains the same because when the same entity exists on both servers, Publication Priority synchronization favors the publication registry. Partial Discovery Priority Partial discovery priority has the following rules: • If an entity exists only on the discovery registry, then it is copied from the discovery registry to the publication registry. • If an entity exists only on the publication registry then it is preserved. • If an entity exists on both registries, then data on the publication registry is overwritten by data from the discovery registry. Partial Discovery Example Before this synchronization, structures A and X exist on the publication registry and structures X and B exist on the discovery registry. Partial discovery synchronization copies structure B to the publication registry and overwrites the version of structure X on the publication registry with that from the discovery registry. Full Discovery Priority Under this synchronization scenario, all the users data on the publication registry is deleted, and all the users data from discovery registry is copied to the publication registry. After full discovery priority synchronization, data on the discovery and publication registries is identical. Important The Oracle Service Registry administrator cannot execute full discovery priority synchronization. Full Discovery Example Before synchronizing, structures A, X, Y and B exist on the publication registry and structures A, X and B exist on the discovery registry. Full discovery synchronization deletes structures A, X, Y and B from the publication registry, and replaces them with A, X, and B from the discovery registry.

1.5.4. Mail notification in approval process

Mails are sent in approval process for notification of involved parties. Approvers are notified via mail that requestors ask for their approval, cancel approval requests and so on. Requestors are notified via mail that approvers approve requests, reject requests and so on. Mails form is determined by XSL transformation and so it can be changed. Page 164
