Configure new custom properties

We can use scripting and wsadmin.sh to configure new custom properties.

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

To configure a new custom property:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

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

2. Get the J2EE resource property set:

   • Jacl:

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newmp propertySet]

   • Jython:

     propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newmp, 'propertySet')
     print propSet

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_2)

3. Get required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('J2EEResourceProperty')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name      String

4. Set up the required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name CP1]
     set cpAttrs [list $name]

     Example output:

     {name CP1}

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'CP1']
     cpAttrs = [name]
     print cpAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, CP1]]

5. Create a J2EE resource property:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $cpAttrs

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, cpAttrs)

   Example output:

   CP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_2)

6. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with wsadmin.sh for more information.

7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with wsadmin.sh for more information.
