Configure new mail sessions using scripting

 

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new mail sessions. 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 mail session:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

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

   • Use Jython:

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

   Example output:

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

2. Get required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required MailSession
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MailSession')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type name           String
   jndiName       String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

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

   Example output:

   {name MS1} {jndiName mail/MS1}
   

   • Use 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:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create MailSession $newmp $msAttrs
   

   • Use 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.
