Configure new data source custom properties using wsadmin

We can configure new data source custom properties using the wsadmin tool scripting tool.

See the topic about starting the wsadmin scripting client for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new data source custom property.

Tasks

1. Identify the parent ID:
   • Jacl:

     set newds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/]
     

   • Jython:

     newds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/')
     print newds
     

   Example output:

   DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$DataSource_1)
   

2. Get the J2EE resource property set:
   • Jacl:

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newds propertySet]
     

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_8)
   

3. Get required attribute:
   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
     

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type
   name         String
   

4. Set up attributes:
   • Jacl:

     set name [list name RP4]
     set rpAttrs [list $name]
     

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'RP4']
     rpAttrs = [name]
     

5. Create a J2EE resource property:
   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs
     

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)
   

6. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronize nodes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
