Configure new protocols

We can configure new protocols and wsadmin.sh.

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

To configure a new protocol:

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 required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required ProtocolProvider

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('ProtocolProvider')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   protocol      String
   classname       String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
     set classname [list classname "Put the class name here"]
     set ppAttrs [list $protocol $classname]

     Example output:

     {protocol protocol1} {classname classname1}

   • Jython:

     protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
     classname = ['classname', "Put the class name here"]
     ppAttrs = [protocol, classname]
     print ppAttrs

     Example output:

     [[protocol, protocol1], [classname, classname1]]

4. Create the protocol provider:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create ProtocolProvider $newmp $ppAttrs

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('ProtocolProvider', newmp, ppAttrs)

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ProtocolProvider_4)

5. Save the configuration changes.

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