Work with J2EEResourcePropertySet properties files

We can use properties files to create or change J2EEResourcePropertySet properties.

Determine the changes to make to your Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) resource property set configuration.

Start wsadmin.sh.

To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run...

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete a J2EEResourcePropertySet object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a J2EE resource property set, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for J2EEResourcePropertySet properties files. We can create, modify, and delete J2EEResourcePropertySet configuration properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete	Uncomment #DELETE=true and run deleteConfigProperties.

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Create a J2EE resource property set.

  1. Create a properties file for a J2EEResourcePropertySet object.

     Open an editor and create a properties file for a J2EE resource property set. We can copy an example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation.

     An example properties file for a J2EEResourcePropertySet object under J2CResourceAdapter named WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter at cell scope follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=J2EEResourcePropertySet
     ImplementingResourceType=GenericType
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:J2CResourceAdapter=WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter:J2EEResourcePropertySet=
     AttributeInfo=resourceProperties(name,value)
     #DELETE=true
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create a J2EE resource property set.

     Run applyConfigProperties applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
     

• Modify a J2EE resource property set.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the J2EE resource property set to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a J2EEResourcePropertySet object using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run applyConfigProperties.

• Delete a J2EE resource property set.

  To delete the entire J2EEResourcePropertySet object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties; for example:

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
  

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the J2EEResourcePropertySet object.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
