Configure new protocols using scripting

 

You can configure new protocols with scripting and the wsadmin tool. 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 protocol:

 

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 required attributes:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required ProtocolProvider
      

    • Use Jython:

      print AdminConfig.required('ProtocolProvider')
      

    Example output:

    Attribute       Type protocol        String classname       String
    

  3. Set up required attributes:

      Use 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}
      

    • Use 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]]
      

  4. Create the protocol provider:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create ProtocolProvider $newmp $ppAttrs
      

    • Use Jython:

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

    Example output:

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

  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.
