Configure new mail providers using scripting

 

Procedure

1. Start wsadmin

2. Identify the parent ID:

   • Jacl:

     set node [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]
     

   • Jython

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
     print node
     

   Example output:

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)
   

3. Get required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailProvider
     

   • Jython

     print AdminConfig.required('MailProvider')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name           String
   

4. Set up required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name MP1]
     set mpAttrs [list $name]
     

   • Jython

     name = ['name', 'MP1']
     mpAttrs = [name]
     

5. Create the mail provider:

   • Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig create MailProvider $node $mpAttrs]
     $AdminConfig save
     

   • Jython

     newmp = AdminConfig.create('MailProvider', node, mpAttrs)
     print newmp
     

   Example output:

   MP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailProvider_1)
   

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
