Create configuration objects using wsadmin.sh

We can use scripting and wsadmin to create configuration objects. Perform this task to create an object. To create new objects from the default template, use the create command. Alternatively, we can create objects using an existing object as a template with the createUsingTemplate command. We can only use the createUsingTemplate command for creation of a server with APPLICATION_SERVER type. To create a server with a type other than APPLICATION_SERVER, use the createGenericServer or the createWebServer command.

  1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.

  2. Use the AdminConfig object listTemplates command to list available templates:

    • Jacl:

        $AdminConfig listTemplates JDBCProvider

    • Jython:

        AdminConfig.listTemplates('JDBCProvider')

    AdminConfig listTemplates command description.

    Attribute Definition
    $ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
    AdminConfig is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
    listTemplates is an AdminConfig command
    JDBCProvider is an object type

  3. Assign the ID string that identifies the existing object to which the new object is added. We can add the new object under any valid object type. The following example uses a node as the valid object type:

    • Jacl:

        set n1 [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/]

    • Jython:

        n1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/')

  4. Specify the template to use:

    • Jacl:

        set t1 [$AdminConfig listTemplates JDBCProvider "DB2 JDBC Provider (XA)"]

    • Jython:

        t1 = AdminConfig.listTemplates('JDBCProvider', 'DB2 JDBC Provider (XA)')

    If you supply a string after the name of a type, you get back a list of templates with display names containing the string you supplied. In this example, the AdminConfig listTemplates command returns the JDBCProvider template whose name matches DB2 JDBC Provider (XA). This example assumes the variable specified here only holds one template configuration ID. If the environment contains multiple templates with the same string, for example, DB2 JDBC Provider (XA), the variable will hold the configuration IDs of all of the templates. Be sure to identify the specific template to use before you perform the next step, creating an object using a template.

  5. Create the object with the following command:

    • Jacl:

        $AdminConfig createUsingTemplate JDBCProvider $n1 {{name newdriver}} $tl

    • Jython:

        AdminConfig.createUsingTemplate('JDBCProvider', n1, [['name', 'newdriver']], t1)

    All create commands use a template unless there are no templates to use. If a default template exists, the command creates the object.

  6. Save the configuration changes.

    Use the following command example to save your configuration changes:

      AdminConfig.save()
