Configure new WAS40 data sources using scripting

Use scripting to configure a new WAS40 data source. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Overview

Perform the following steps:

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Using Jacl:

   set newjdbc [$AdminConfig getid "/JDBCProvider:Cloudscape JDBC Provider/"]

   • Using Jython:

     newjdbc = AdminConfig.getid('/JDBCProvider:Cloudscape JDBC Provider/')
     print newjdbc

   Example output:

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

2. Get required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required WAS40DataSource

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WAS40DataSource')

   Example output:

   Attribute    Type
   name    String

3. Set up required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   set name [list name was4DS1]
   set ds4Attrs [list $name]

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'was4DS1']
     ds4Attrs = [name]

4. Create WAS40DataSource:

   Using Jacl:

   set new40ds [$AdminConfig create WAS40DataSource $newjdbc $ds4Attrs]

   • Using Jython:

     new40ds = AdminConfig.create('WAS40DataSource', newjdbc, ds4Attrs)
     print new40ds

   Example output:

   was4DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WAS40DataSource_1)

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

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