Configure new mail sessions 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 mail session:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]

   • Using Jython:

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

   Example output:

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

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailSession

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MailSession')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name       String jndiName       String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name MS1]
     set jndi [list jndiName mail/MS1]
     set msAttrs [list $name $jndi]

     Example output:

     {name MS1} {jndiName mail/MS1}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MS1']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'mail/MS1']
     msAttrs = [name, jndi]
     print msAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, MS1], [jndiName, mail/MS1]]

4. Create the mail session:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create MailSession $newmp $msAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('MailSession', newmp, msAttrs)

   Example output:

   MS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailSession_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.
