Configure new mail sessions

We can use scripting and wsadmin.sh to configure new mail sessions.

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 mail session:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Jacl:

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

   • Jython:

     newmp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/')
     print newmp

   Example output:

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

2. Get required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailSession

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('MailSession')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name       String
   jndiName       String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name MS1]
     set jndi [list jndiName mail/MS1]
     set msAttrs [list $name $jndi]

     Example output:

     {name MS1} {jndiName mail/MS1}

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MS1']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'mail/MS1']
     msAttrs = [name, jndi]
     print msAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, MS1], [jndiName, mail/MS1]]

4. Create the mail session:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create MailSession $newmp $msAttrs

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('MailSession', newmp, msAttrs)

   Example output:

   MS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailSession_1)

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

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