Configuring new data source custom properties using scripting

You can configure new data source custom properties using the wsadmin tool and scripting.

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 data source custom property:

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID:
    • Using Jacl:

      set newds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/]
    • Using Jython:
      newds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/')
      print newds
    Example output:
    DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$DataSource_1)
  2. Get the J2EE resource property set:
    • Using Jacl:

      set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newds propertySet]
    • Using Jython:
      propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newds, 'propertySet')
      print propSet
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_8)
    Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: Quotation marks exist in the output of this command with the propertySet parameter. The existence of these quotation marks might lead to difficulties when you parse the output of the command.gotcha
  3. Get required attribute:
    • Using Jacl:

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

      set name [list name RP4]
      set rpAttrs [list $name]
    • Using Jython:
      name = ['name', 'RP4']
      rpAttrs = [name]
  5. Create a J2EE resource property:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)
    Example output:
    RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)
  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.
