Configure new custom properties using scripting

 

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new custom properties. 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 custom property:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

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

   • Use Jython:

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

   Example output:

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

2. Get the J2EE resource property set:

   Use Jacl:

   set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newmp propertySet]
   

   • Use Jython:

     propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newmp, 'propertySet') print propSet
     

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_2)
   

3. Get required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name        String
   

4. Set up the required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name CP1] set cpAttrs [list $name]
   

   Example output:

   {name CP1}
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'CP1'] cpAttrs = [name] print cpAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, CP1]]
     

5. Create a J2EE resource property:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $cpAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, cpAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   CP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_2)
   

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

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