Work with J2C resource adapter properties files

We can use properties files to install or remove J2EE Connector Architecture (J2C) resource adapters.

Determine the changes to make to the J2C resource adapter configuration.

From the server profile bin directory, run wsadmin -lang jython

Using a properties file, we can install or remove a J2C resource adapter.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to apply or delete a properties file for a J2C resource adapter.

resource adapter properties files. We can create and

Action	Procedure
create (install)	Create a properties file that sets required properties for a J2C resource adapter and containing the following lines in the header: CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true commandName=installResourceAdapter Run the applyConfigProperties command to install the resource adapter.
modify	Not applicable
delete (remove)	To remove the entire resource adapter, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Install a J2CResourceAdapter instance.

  1. Create a properties file for a J2CResourceAdapter instance.

     Open an editor and create a file such as the following for a J2CResourceAdapter instance:

     #
     # Header  #
     CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true
     commandName=installResourceAdapter
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     rarPath=myRA.rar #String, required
     rar.nativePath=null #String
     rar.archivePath=null #String
     rar.propertiesSet=null #java.util.Properties
     rar.name=null #String
     rar.DeleteSourceRar=null #Boolean
     rar.classpath=null #String
     rar.HACapability=null #String
     nodeName=!{nodeName} #String, required
     rar.desc=null #String
     rar.enableHASupport=null #Boolean
     rar.threadPoolAlias=null #String
     rar.isolatedClassLoader=null #Boolean#
      EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #Environment Variables
     nodeName=myNode

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to install a J2C resource adapter configuration.

     Running the applyConfigProperties command 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'])

• Remove the entire J2C resource adapter instance.

  1. Specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file.

     A J2C resource adapter properties file with DELETE=true resembles the following:

     #
     # Header  #
     ResourceType=J2CResourceAdapter
     ImplementingResourceType=J2CResourceAdapter
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}: J2CResourceAdapter=myJ2CResourceAdapter
     DELETE=true
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     name=myJ2CResourceAdapter
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell

  2. Run the deleteConfigProperties command.

     The following Jython example uses the optional -reportFileName parameter and produces a report named report.txt:

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

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the J2C resource adapter.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
