Set new mail providers using scripting

Use scripting and wsadmin to configure new mail providers.

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

Perform the following steps to configure a new mail provider:

 

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

     set node [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]

   • Jython...

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/') print node

   For example...

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)

2. Get required attributes:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig required MailProvider

   • Jython...

     print AdminConfig.required('MailProvider')

   For example...

   Attribute Type name String

3. Set up required attributes:
   • Jacl...

     set name [list name MP1] set mpAttrs [list $name]

   • Jython...

     name = ['name', 'MP1'] mpAttrs = [name]

4. Create the mail provider:
   • Jacl...

     set newmp [$AdminConfig create MailProvider $node $mpAttrs]

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

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

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

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