Configure new WebSphere topic connection factories using scripting

Use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new WebSphere topic connection factories. 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 WebSphere topic connection factory:

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Using Jacl:

   set newjmsp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newjmsp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:myNode/JMSProvider:JMSP1/')
     print newjmsp

   Example output:

   JMSP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#JMSProvider_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required WASTopicConnectionFactory

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('WASTopicConnectionFactory')

   Example output:

   Attribute            Type
   name                 String
   jndiName             String
   port                 ENUM(DIRECT, QUEUED)

3. Set up required attributes:

   Using Jacl:

   set name [list name WASTCF]
   set jndi [list jndiName jms/WASTCF]
   set port [list port QUEUED]
   set mtcfAttrs [list $name $jndi $port]

   Example output:

   {name WASTCF} {jndiName jms/WASTCF} {port QUEUED}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'WASTCF']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WASTCF']
     port = ['port', 'QUEUED']
     mtcfAttrs = [name, jndi, port]
     print mtcfAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, WASTCF], [jndiName, jms/WASTCF], [port, QUEUED]]

4. Create was topic connection factories:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create WASTopicConnectionFactory $newjmsp $mtcfAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('WASTopicConnectionFactory', newjmsp, mtcfAttrs)

   Example output:

   WASTCF(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASTopicConnectionFactory_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.
