Configure new WAS40 data sources using scripting

 

Use scripting to configure a new WAS40 data source. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

   set newjdbc [$AdminConfig getid "/JDBCProvider:Cloudscape JDBC Provider/"]
   

   • Use Jython:

     newjdbc = AdminConfig.getid('/JDBCProvider:Cloudscape JDBC Provider/') print newjdbc
     

   Example output:

   JDBC1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$JDBCProvider_1)
   

2. Get required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required WAS40DataSource
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WAS40DataSource')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute    Type name        String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name was4DS1] set ds4Attrs [list $name]
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'was4DS1'] ds4Attrs = [name]
     

4. Create WAS40DataSource:

   Use Jacl:

   set new40ds [$AdminConfig create WAS40DataSource $newjdbc $ds4Attrs]
   

   • Use Jython:

     new40ds = AdminConfig.create('WAS40DataSource', newjdbc, ds4Attrs) print new40ds
     

   Example output:

   was4DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WAS40DataSource_1)
   

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
