Set new custom properties using scripting

Use scripting and wsadmin to configure new custom properties.

Before starting this task, wsadmin must be running. See the Start wsadmin article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property:

 

1. Identify the parent ID:
   • Jacl...

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

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

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

2. Get the J2EE resource property set:
   • Jacl...

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newmp propertySet]

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

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

3. Get required attributes:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

   • Jython...

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')

   For example...

   Attribute Type name String

4. Set up the required attributes:
   • Jacl...

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

     For example...

     {name CP1}

   • Jython...

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

     For example...

     [[name, CP1]]

5. Create a J2EE resource property:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $cpAttrs

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

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

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

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