Configure a JDBC provider using scripting

You can configure a JDBC provider using the wsadmin tool and scripting. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Procedure

1. There are two ways to perform this task. Perform one of the following:

   • Using the AdminTask object:

     Using Jacl:

     $AdminTask createJDBCProvider {-interactive}

     • Using Jython:

       AdminTask.createJDBCProvider (['-interactive'])

   • Using the AdminConfig object:

     1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable. The following example uses the node configuration object as the parent. You can modify this example to use the cell, cluster, server, or application configuration object as the parent.

        Using Jacl:

        set node [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]

        • Using Jython:

          node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
          print node

        Example output:

        mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)

     2. Identify the required attributes: Fastpath: For supported JDBC drivers, you can also script JDBC providers according to the same pre-configured templates that are used by the administrative console logic. Consult the article Creating configuration objects using the wsadmin tool for details.

        Using Jacl:

        $AdminConfig required JDBCProvider

        • Using Jython:

          print AdminConfig.required('JDBCProvider')

        Example output:

        Attribute     Type
        name     String
        implementationClassName   String

     3. Set up the required attributes and assign it to the jdbcAttrs variable. You can modify the following example to setup non-required attributes for JDBC provider.

        Using Jacl:

        set n1 [list name JDBC1]
        set implCN [list implementationClassName myclass]
        set  jdbcAttrs [list  $n1  $implCN]

        Example output:

        {name {JDBC1}} {implementationClassName {myclass}}

        • Using Jython:

          n1 = ['name', 'JDBC1']
          implCN = ['implementationClassName', 'myclass']
          jdbcAttrs = [n1,  implCN]
          print jdbcAttrs

          Example output:

          [['name', 'JDBC1'], ['implementationClassName', 'myclass']]

     4. Create a new JDBC provider using node as the parent:

        Using Jacl:

        $AdminConfig create JDBCProvider $node $jdbcAttrs

        • Using Jython:

          AdminConfig.create('JDBCProvider', node, jdbcAttrs)

        Example output:

        JDBC1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#JDBCProvider_1) 

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

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