Work with JMS provider properties files

Use properties files to create or change Java Message Service (JMS) provider properties.

Determine the changes to make to your JMS provider configuration or its configuration objects.

Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.

Use a properties file to create, modify, or delete a JMS provider object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a JMS provider, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Uncomment #DELETE=true and run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Tasks

• Create a JMS provider and its properties.

  1. Create a properties file for a JMSProvider object.

     Open an editor and create a JMS provider properties file. We can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for our situation.

     An example properties file for a JMSProvider object named myProvider at cell scope follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=JMSProvider
     ImplementingResourceType=JMSProvider
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:JMSProvider=myProvider
     #DELETE=true
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     supportsASF=true #boolean
     classpath={}
     name=myProvider
     externalProviderURL=myEPURL
     nativepath={}
     description=IBM MQ Messaging Provider
     providerType=null #readonly
     externalInitialContextFactory=myEICFactory
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a JMS provider configuration.

     Running the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
     

• Modify an existing JMS provider.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the JMS provider to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a JMSProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a JMS provider configuration.

• If we no longer need a JMS provider, we can delete the entire JMS provider object.

  To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command; for example:

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]') 
  

Use the properties file to configure and manage the JMS provider object.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
