Work with mail session properties files
We can use properties files to create or change mail session properties.
Determine the changes to make to the mail session configuration or its configuration objects.
From the server profile bin directory, run wsadmin -lang jython
Using a properties file, we can create, modify, or delete a mail session object and its configuration properties.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a mail session, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.
for mail session properties files. We can create, modify,
Action Procedure create Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. modify Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. delete Uncomment #DELETE=true and run the deleteConfigProperties command. Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
- Create a mail session and its properties.
- Create a properties file for a MailSession object.
Open an editor and create a mail session properties file. We can copy an example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for the situation.
The following example defines a mail session with jndiName myJndiName under a mail provider named Built-in Mail Provider at cell scope:
# # Header # ResourceType=MailSession ImplementingResourceType=MailSession ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:MailProvider=Built-in Mail Provider:MailSession=jndiName#myJndiName #DELETE=true # # #Properties # mailStorePort=0 #integer,default(0) mailFrom=null mailTransportPort=0 #integer,default(0) mailStoreHost=null providerType=null mailTransportHost=null mailStorePassword=null debug=false #boolean,default(false) mailStoreUser=null category=null description=myJndiName # required mailTransportUser=null ObjectName=null mailStoreProtocol=null provider=Built-in Mail Provider #ObjectName(MailProvider),readonly String=null mailTransportPassword=null strict=true #boolean,default(true) name=myName # required EnvironmentVariablesSection # # #Environment Variables cellName=WASCell06 nodeName=WASNode04
- Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a mail session 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'])
- Modify an existing mail session.
- Obtain a properties file for the mail session to change.
We can extract a properties file for a MailSession object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- 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.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a mail session configuration.
- If we no longer need a mail session, we can delete the entire mail session object.
To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command; for example:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
We can use the properties file to configure and manage the mail session object.
What to do next
Save the changes to the configuration.
