Configure custom properties for resource environment providers

We can use scripting to configure custom properties for a resource environment provider.

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 for a resource environment provider:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newrep variable.

   • Jacl:

     set newrep [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/]

   • Jython:

     newrep = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/')
     print newrep

   Example output:

   REP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ResourceEnvironmentProvider_1)

2. Identify the required attributes:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig. required('J2EEResourceProperty')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type
   name     String

3. Set up the required attributes and assign it to the repAttrs variable:

   • Jacl:

     set name [list name RP]
     set rpAttrs [list $name]

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'RP']
     rpAttrs = [name]

4. Get the J2EE resource property set:

   • Jacl:

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newrep propertySet]

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_1)

   If the command returns None as the value for the propSet variable, create a new property set. The command returns None if the property set does not exist in the environment. Use the following examples to create a new property set:

   Jacl:

   set newPropSet [$AdminConfig create $newrep {}]

   Using Jython:

   newPropSet = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourcePropertySet',newrep,[])

   After setting the newPropSet variable, retry the command to get the J2EE resource property set before going to the next step.

5. Create a J2EE resource property:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   RP(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_1)

6. Save the configuration changes.

   Jacl:

   $AdminConfig save

   Using Jython:

   AdminConfig.save()

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