Example: Configuring a variable map using wsadmin

This example creates a variable map to an existing server.

• Idenitfy the server and assign it to the server variable.

  set server [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server2/]

  Example output:

  server2(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server2:server.xml#Server_2)

• Create an empty variable map for the server and assign it to the varMap variable.

  set varMap [$AdminConfig create VariableMap $server {}]

  Example output:

  (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server2:variables.xml#VariableMap_1)

  This example is to create a variable map. If your server already has an existing variable map, then you can use the following to get its configuration object:

  set varMap [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server2/VariableMap:/]

• Set up variable map entry attributes.

  In the following example, you create variable map entries DB2_INSTALL_ROOT and DB2_LIB_DIR. DB2_LIB_DIR is going to refer back to DB2_INSTALL_ROOT:

  set nameattr1 [list symbolicName DB2_INSTALL_ROOT]
  set valattr1 [list value "c:/db2/sqllib"]
  set nameattr2 [list symbolicName DB2_LIB_DIR]
  set valattr2  [list value  "\${DB2_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib"]
  set attr1 [list $nameattr1 $valattr1]
  set attr2 [list $nameattr2 $valattr2]
  set attrs [list $attr1 $attr2]

  Example output:

  {{symbolicName DB2_INSTALL_ROOT} {value c:/db2/sqllib}} {{symbolicName DB2_LIB_DIR} {value {${DB2_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib}}}

• Modify the entries attribute in the variable map to add the two new entries.

  $AdminConfig modify $varMap [subst {{entries {$attrs}}}]

• To view the variable map:

  $AdminConfig showall $varMap

  Example output:

  {entries {{{symbolicName DB2_INSTALL_ROOT}
  {value c:/db2/sqllib}} {{symbolicName DB2_LIB_DIR}
  {value ${DB2_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib}}}}

• Save the changes with the following command:

  $AdminConfig save
