Configure new WebSphere queues 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 WebSphere queue:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newjmsp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newjmsp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:myNode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/') 
     print newjmsp

   Example output:

   JMSP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#JMSProvider_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required WASQueue

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WASQueue')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name       String jndiName    String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name WASQ1]
     set jndi [list jndiName jms/WASQ1]
     set wqAttrs [list $name $jndi]

     Example output:

     {name WASQ1} {jndiName jms/WASQ1}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'WASQ1']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WASQ1']
     wqAttrs = [name, jndi]
     print wqAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, WASQ1], [jndiName, jms/WASQ1]]

4. Create was queue:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create WASQueue $newjmsp $wqAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('WASQueue', newjmsp, wqAttrs)

   Example output:

   WASQ1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASQueue_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.
