Configure custom properties for resource environment providers using wsadmin scripting

Use scripting to configure custom properties for a resource environment provider.

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

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property for a resource environment provider.

Tasks

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newrep variable.
   • Jacl:

     set newrep [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/]
     

   • Jython:

     newrep = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/')
     print newrep
     

   Example output:

   REP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ResourceEnvironmentProvider_1)
   

2. Identify the required attributes:
   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
     

   • Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type
   name     String
   

3. Set up the required attributes and assign it to the repAttrs variable:
   • Jacl:

     set name [list name RP]
     set repAttrs [list $name]
     

   • Jython:

     name = ['name', 'RP']
     repAttrs = [name]
     

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

     set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newrep propertySet]
     

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_1)
   

   If the command returns None as the value for the propSet variable, create a new property set. The command returns None if the property set does not exist in the environment. Use the following examples to create a new property set:

   Use Jacl:

   set newPropSet  [$AdminConfig  create  $newrep {}]
   

   Use Jython:

   newPropSet = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourcePropertySet',newrep,[])
   

   After setting the newPropSet variable, retry the command to get the J2EE resource property set before going to the next step.

5. Create a J2EE resource property:
   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $repAttrs
     

   • Jython:

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

   Example output:

   RP(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_1)
   

6. Save the configuration changes.

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig save
   

   Use Jython:

   AdminConfig.save()
   

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