Configure new mail providers using wsadmin.sh

Use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new mail providers.

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

Perform the following steps to configure a new mail provider:

Tasks

1. Identify the parent ID.
   • Jacl:

     set node [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]
     

   • Jython:

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
     print node
     

   Example output:

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)
   

2. Get required attributes:
   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailProvider
     

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MailProvider')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name				   String
   

3. Set up required attributes:
   • Jacl:

     set name [list name MP1]
     set mpAttrs [list $name]
     

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MP1']
     mpAttrs = [name]
     

4. Create the mail provider:
   • Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig create MailProvider $node $mpAttrs]
     

   • Jython:

     newmp = AdminConfig.create('MailProvider', node, mpAttrs)
     print newmp
     

   Example output:

   MP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailProvider_1)
   

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