Configure custom properties for a Version 4.0 data source

Use scripting and wsadmin.sh to configure custom properties for a Version 4.0 data source.

Before starting this task, wsadmin.sh must be running. See the topic about starting wsadmin.sh.

Complete the steps in this topic to configure custom properties for a Version 4.0 data source.

1. Identify the parent ID.

   • Jacl:

     set new40ds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/
     JDBCProvider:JDBC1/WAS40DataSource:was4DS1/]

   • Jython:

     new40ds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/
     JDBCProvider:JDBC1/WAS40DataSource:was4DS1/')
     print new40ds

   Example output:

   was4DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynodes|resources.xml$WAS40DataSource_1)

2. Get required attributes.

   • Jacl:

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $new40ds propertySet]

   • Jython:

     propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(new40ds, 'propertySet') print propSet

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_9)

3. Optional: Set up attributes for the server name and port number. : This step describes optional attributes that might be required by the J2EE Resource Property. Other attributes might be required.

   • Jacl to set up the server name:

     set name [list name "serverName"]
     set value [list value db2was.austin.ibm.com]
     set rpAttrs1 [list $name $value]

   • Jython to set up the server name:

     name = ['name', 'serverName']
     value = ['value', 'db2was.austin.ibm.com']
     rpAttrs1 = ['name', 'value']

   • Jacl to set up the port number:

     set name [list name "portNumber"]
     set value [list value 50000]
     set rpAttrs2 [list $name $value]

   • Jython to set up the port number:

     name = ['name', 'portNumber']
     value = ['value', 'db2was.austin.ibm.com']
     rpAttrs1 = ['name', 'value']

4. Create a J2EE Resource Property.

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs1
     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs2

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs1)
     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs2)

   Example output:

   serverName(cells/cell_name|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_1236708692906)
   serverName(cells/cell_name|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_1236708728281)

5. Save the configuration changes.

6. Synchronize the node.
