Configure new topics using scripting

We can configure new topics using the wsadmin tool and scripting.

Configure a new WebSphere queue:

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 WASQueue
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>print AdminConfig.required('WASQueue')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name				   String
   jndiName			 String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>set name [list name WASQ1]
     wsadmin>set jndi [list jndiName jms/WASQ1]
     wsadmin>set wqAttrs [list $name $jndi]
     

     Example output:

     {name WASQ1} {jndiName jms/WASQ1}
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>name = ['name', 'WASQ1']
     wsadmin>jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WASQ1']
     wsadmin>wqAttrs = [name, jndi]
     wsadmin>print wqAttrs
     

     Example output:

     [[name, WASQ1], [jndiName, jms/WASQ1]]
     

4. Create the queue:

   • Use Jacl:

     wsadmin>$AdminConfig create WASQueue $v5jmsp $wqAttrs
     

   • Use Jython:

     wsadmin>print AdminConfig.create('WASQueue', v5jmsp, wqAttrs)
     

   Example output:

   WASQ1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASQueue_1)
   

5. Save the configuration changes.
6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
