Configure new WAS40 connection pools 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 WAS40 connection pool:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set new40ds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/WAS40DataSource:was4DS1/]

   • Using Jython:

     new40ds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/WAS40DataSource:was4DS1/')
     print new40ds

   Example output:

   was4DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynodes:resources.xml$WAS40DataSource_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required WAS40ConnectionPool

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WAS40ConnectionPool')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type minimumPoolSize     Integer maximumPoolSize     Integer connectionTimeout   Integer idleTimeout        Integer orphanTimeout       Integer statementCacheSize  Integer

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set mps [list minimumPoolSize 5]
     set minps [list minimumPoolSize 5]
     set maxps [list maximumPoolSize 30]
     set conn [list connectionTimeout 10]
     set idle [list idleTimeout 5]
     set orphan [list orphanTimeout 5]
     set scs [list statementCacheSize 5]
     set 40cpAttrs [list $minps $maxps $conn $idle $orphan $scs]

     Example output:

     {minimumPoolSize 5} {maximumPoolSize 30} 
     {connectionTimeout 10} {idleTimeout 5} 
     {orphanTimeout 5} {statementCacheSize 5}

   • Using Jython:

     minps = ['minimumPoolSize', 5]
     maxps = ['maximumPoolSize', 30]
     conn = ['connectionTimeout', 10]
     idle = ['idleTimeout', 5]
     orphan = ['orphanTimeout', 5]
     scs = ['statementCacheSize', 5]
     cpAttrs = [minps, maxps, conn, idle, orphan, scs]
     print cpAttrs

     Example output:

     [[minimumPoolSize, 5], [maximumPoolSize, 30], 
     [connectionTimeout, 10], [idleTimeout, 5],  
     [orphanTimeout, 5], [statementCacheSize, 5]]

4. Create was40 connection pool:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create WAS40ConnectionPool $new40ds $40cpAttrs 

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('WAS40ConnectionPool', new40ds, 40cpAttrs)

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode:resources.xml#WAS40ConnectionPool_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.
