Configure new J2C resource adapters using scripting

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new J2C resource adapter:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable. The following example uses the node configuration object as the parent. You can modify this example to use the cell, cluster, server, or application configuration object as the parent.

   • Using Jacl:

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

   • Using Jython:

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

   Example output:

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

2. Identify the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required J2CResourceAdapter

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2CResourceAdapter')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type name         String

3. Set up the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set rarFile c:/currentScript/cicseci.rar set option  [list  -rar.name  RAR1]

   • Using Jython:

     rarFile = 'c:/currentScript/cicseci.rar'
     option  = '[-rar.name  RAR1]'

4. Create a resource adapter:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newra [$AdminConfig installResourceAdapter $rarFile mynode $option]

   • Using Jython:

     newra = AdminConfig.installResourceAdapter(rarFile, 'mynode', option)
     print newra

   Example output:

   RAR1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2CResourceAdapter_1)

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
