Configure new protocols using scripting

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to configure a new protocol:

 

Procedure

1. Start wsadmin

2. Identify the parent ID:

   • Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]
     

   • Jython

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

   Example output:

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

3. Get required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required ProtocolProvider
     

   • Jython

     print AdminConfig.required('ProtocolProvider')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   protocol        String
   classname       String
   

4. Set up required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
     set classname [list classname "Put the class name here"]
     set ppAttrs [list $protocol $classname]
     

     Example output:

     {protocol protocol1} {classname classname1}
     

   • Jython

     protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
     classname = ['classname', "Put the class name here"]
     ppAttrs = [protocol, classname]
     print ppAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[protocol, protocol1], [classname, classname1]]
     

5. Create the protocol provider:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create ProtocolProvider $newmp $ppAttrs
     $AdminConfig save
     

   • Jython

     print AdminConfig.create('ProtocolProvider', newmp, ppAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ProtocolProvider_4)
   

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