Configure new MQ connection factories using scripting

You can use scripting to configure a new MQ connection factory. 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 to configure a new MQ connection factory:

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Using Jacl:

   set newjmsp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JMSProvider:WebSphere MQ JMS Provider/]

   • Using Jython:

     newjmsp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:myNode/JMSProvider:WebSphere MQ JMS Provider')
     print newjmsp

   Example output:

   WebSphere MQ JMS Provider(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#builtin_mqprovider)

2. Get required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required MQConnectionFactory

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MQConnectionFactory')

   Example output:

   attribute    Type
   name         String
   jndiName     String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   set name [list name MQCF]
   set jndi [list jndiName jms/MQCF]
   set mqcfAttrs [list $name $jndi]

   Example output:

   {name MQCF} {jndiName jms/MQCF}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MQCF']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/MQCF']
     mqcfAttrs = [name, jndi]
     print mqcfAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, MQCF], [jndiName, jms/MQCF]]

4. Set up a template:

   Using Jacl:

   set template [lindex [$AdminConfig listTemplates MQConnectionFactory] 0]

   • Using Jython:

     import java
     lineseparator = java.lang.System.getProperty('line.separator')
     template = AdminConfig.listTemplates('MQConnectionFactory').split(lineseparator)[0]
     print template 

   Example output:

   Example non-XA WMQ ConnectionFactory(templates/
   system:JMS-resource-provider-templates.xml
   #MQConnectionFactory_3)
   

5. Create MQ connection factory:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig createUsingTemplate MQConnectionFactory 
   $newjmsp $mqcfAttrs $template

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.createUsingTemplate('MQConnectionFactory', 
     newjmsp, mqcfAttrs, template)

   Example output:

   MQCF(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode:resources.xml#MQConnectionFactory_1)

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.
