Work with mail provider properties files

We can use properties files to create or change mail provider properties.

Determine the changes to make to your mail provider configuration or its configuration objects.

Start wsadmin.sh.

To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run...

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete a mail provider object and its configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a mail provider, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for mail provider properties files. You can create, modify, and delete mail provider configuration properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete	Uncomment #DELETE=true and run deleteConfigProperties.

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Create a mail provider and its properties.

  1. Create a properties file for a MailProvider object.

     Open an editor and create a mail provider properties file. We can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example defines a mail provider named myProvider at cell scope:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=MailProvider
     ImplementingResourceType=MailProvider
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:MailProvider=myProvider
     #DELETE=true
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     classpath={}
     name=myProvider
     isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean
     nativepath={}
     description=new mail provider providerType=null #readonly
     
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create a mail provider configuration.

     Run applyConfigProperties applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
     

• Modify an existing mail provider.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the mail provider that to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a MailProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run applyConfigProperties to change a mail provider configuration.

• If you no longer need a mail provider, you can delete the entire mail provider object.

  To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties; for example:

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
  

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the mail provider object.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
