Configure new queue connection factories using scripting

Use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new queue connection factories in WebSphere Application Server.

Perform the following steps to configure a new WebSphere queue connection factory:

In the following examples, code blocks beginning with wsadmin> show code that is entered by the user. Lines that do not begin with wsadmin> show code that has been returned by the console.

Tasks

1. Identify the parent ID and assign in to a variable. In this example the variable is named v5jmsp.

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>set v5jmsp [$AdminConfig getid "/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JMSProvider:WebSphere JMS Provider/"]
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>v5jmsp = AdminConfig.getid("/Cell:mycell/Node:myNode/JMSProvider:WebSphere JMS Provider/") 
     wsadmin>print v5jmsp
     

   Example output:

   "WebSphere JMS Provider(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#builtin_jmsprovider)"
   

2. Get required attributes:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>$AdminConfig required WASQueueConnectionFactory
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>print AdminConfig.required('WASQueueConnectionFactory')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name				   String
   jndiName			 String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>set name [list name WASQCF]
     wsadmin>set jndi [list jndiName jms/WASQCF]
     wsadmin>set mqcfAttrs [list $name $jndi]
     

     Example output:

     {name WASQCF} {jndiName jms/WASQCF}
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>name = ['name', 'WASQCF']
     wsadmin>jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WASQCF']
     wsadmin>mqcfAttrs = [name, jndi]
     wsadmin>print mqcfAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, WASQCF], [jndiName, jms/WASQCF]]
     

4. Set up a template:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>set template [lindex [$AdminConfig listTemplates WASQueueConnectionFactory] 0]
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>lineseparator = java.lang.System.getProperty('line.separator')
     wsadmin>template = AdminConfig.listTemplates('WASQueueConnectionFactory').split(lineseparator)[0]
     wsadmin>print template
     

5. Create was queue connection factories:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>$AdminConfig createUsingTemplate WASQueueConnectionFactory $v5jmsp $mqcfAttrs $template
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>AdminConfig.createUsingTemplate('WASQueueConnectionFactory', v5jmsp, mqqcfAttrs, template)
     

   Example output:

   WASQCF(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASQueueConnectionFactory_1)
   

6. Save the configuration changes.
7. In a WAS ND environment only, synchronize the node.
