Set new mail sessions using scripting

Use scripting and wsadmin to configure new mail sessions.

Before starting this task, wsadmin must be running. See the Start wsadmin article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new mail session:

 

1. Identify the parent ID:
   • Jacl...

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

   • Jython...

     newmp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/') print newmp

   For example...

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

2. Get required attributes:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig required MailSession

   • Jython...

     print AdminConfig.required('MailSession')

   For example...

   Attribute Type name String jndiName String

3. Set up required attributes:
   • Jacl...

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

     For example...

     {name MS1} {jndiName mail/MS1}

   • Jython...

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

     For example...

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

4. Create the mail session:
   • Jacl...

     $AdminConfig create MailSession $newmp $msAttrs

   • Jython...

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

   For example...

   MS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailSession_1)

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

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