Configuring new custom properties using scripting

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new custom properties.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property:

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID:
    • Using Jacl:

      set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]
    • Using Jython:
      newmp = AdminConfig.create('MailProvider', node, mpAttrs)
      print newmp
    Example output:
    MP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailProvider_1)
  2. Get the J2EE resource property set:
    • Using Jacl:

      set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newmp propertySet]
    • Using Jython:
      propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newmp, 'propertySet')
      print propSet
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_2)
  3. Get required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
    Example output:
    Attribute       Type
    name		    String
  4. Set up the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name CP1]
      set cpAttrs [list $name]
      Example output:
      {name CP1}
    • Using Jython:
      name = ['name', 'CP1']
      cpAttrs = [name]
      print cpAttrs
      Example output:
      [[name, CP1]]
  5. Create a J2EE resource property:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $cpAttrs
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, cpAttrs)
    Example output:
    CP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_2)
  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.
