Configure new resource environment providers 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 resource environment provider:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable.

   • 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 ResourceEnvironmentProvider

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('ResourceEnvironmentProvider')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type name     String

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

   • Using Jacl:

     set n1 [list name REP1]
     set repAttrs [list $name]

   • Using Jython:

     n1 = ['name', 'REP1']
     repAttrs = [n1]

4. Create a new resource environment provider:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newrep [$AdminConfig create ResourceEnvironmentProvider $node $repAttrs]

   • Using Jython:

     newrep = AdminConfig.create('ResourceEnvironmentProvider', node, repAttrs)
     print newrep

   Example output:

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