Configure new WAS40 data sources

Use scripting to configure a new WAS40 data source.

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

Perform the following steps:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Jacl:

     set newjdbc [$AdminConfig getid "/JDBCProvider:Apache Derby JDBC Provider/"]

   • Jython:

     newjdbc = AdminConfig.getid('/JDBCProvider:Apache Derby JDBC Provider/')
     print newjdbc

   Example output:

   JDBC1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$JDBCProvider_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required WAS40DataSource

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('WAS40DataSource')

   Example output:

   Attribute    Type
   name    String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name was4DS1]
     set ds4Attrs [list $name]

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'was4DS1']
     ds4Attrs = [name]

4. Create WAS40DataSource:

   • Jacl:

     set new40ds [$AdminConfig create WAS40DataSource $newjdbc $ds4Attrs]

   • Jython:

     new40ds = AdminConfig.create('WAS40DataSource', newjdbc, ds4Attrs)
     print new40ds

   Example output:

   was4DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WAS40DataSource_1)

5. Save the configuration changes.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
