Set new data source custom properties using scripting

Configure new data source custom properties using wsadmin and scripting.

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

Perform the following steps to configure a new data source custom property:

 

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

     set newds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/]

   • Jython...

     newds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/') print newds

   For example...

   DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$DataSource_1)

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

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newds propertySet]

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_8)

3. Get required attribute:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

   • Jython...

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')

   For example...

   Attribute Type name String

4. Set up attributes:
   • Jacl...

     set name [list name RP4] set rpAttrs [list $name]

   • Jython...

     name = ['name', 'RP4'] rpAttrs = [name]

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

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

   RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)

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.
