Configure new WebSphere queues using scripting

 

You can use scripting to configure a new WebSphere queue. 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 to configure a new WebSphere queue:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

   set newjmsp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/]
   

   • Use Jython:

     newjmsp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:myNode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/')  print newjmsp
     

   Example output:

   JMSP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#JMSProvider_1)
   

2. Get required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required WASQueue
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WASQueue')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name           String
   jndiName       String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name WASQ1] set jndi [list jndiName jms/WASQ1] set wqAttrs [list $name $jndi]
   

   Example output:

   {name WASQ1} {jndiName jms/WASQ1}
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'WASQ1'] jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WASQ1'] wqAttrs = [name, jndi] print wqAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, WASQ1], [jndiName, jms/WASQ1]]
     

4. Create was queue:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create WASQueue $newjmsp $wqAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('WASQueue', newjmsp, wqAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   WASQ1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASQueue_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.
