Configure new data source custom properties using scripting

 

You can configure new data source custom properties using the wsadmin tool and scripting. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to configure a new data source custom property:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

   set newds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/]
   

   • Use Jython:

     newds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/') print newds
     

   Example output:

   DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$DataSource_1)
   

2. Get the J2EE resource property set:

   Use Jacl:

   set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newds propertySet]
   

   • Use Jython:

     propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newds, 'propertySet') print propSet
     

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_8)
   

3. Get required attribute:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type name         String
   

4. Set up attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   set name [list name RP4] set rpAttrs [list $name]
   

   • Use Jython:

     name = ['name', 'RP4'] rpAttrs = [name]
     

5. Create a J2EE resource property:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)
   

6. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
