Configure new WebSphere topics using scripting

 

You can configure new WebSphere topics using the wsadmin tool and scripting. 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 topic:

 

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 WASTopic
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WASTopic')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name           String
   jndiName       String topic          String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name WAST1] set jndi [list jndiName jms/WAST1] set topic [list topic "Put your topic here"] set wtAttrs [list $name $jndi $topic]
   

   Example output:

   {name WAST1} {jndiName jms/WAST1} {topic {Put your topic here}}
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'WAST1'] jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WAST1'] topic = ['topic', "Put your topic here"] wtAttrs = [name, jndi, topic] print wtAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, WAST1], [jndiName, jms/WAST1], [topic, "Put your topic here"]]
     

4. Create was topic:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create WASTopic $newjmsp $wtAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('WASTopic', newjmsp, wtAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   WAST1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASTopic_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.
