Configure new URL providers using scripting

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new URL provider:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the node variable.

   • 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:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required URLProvider

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('URLProvider')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type streamHandlerClassName   String protocol       String name         String

3. Set up the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name URLP1]
     set shcn [list streamHandlerClassName "Put the stream handler classname here"]
     set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
     set urlpAttrs [list $name $shcn $protocol]

     Example output:

     {name URLP1} {streamHandlerClassName {Put the stream handler classname here}} {protocol {Put the protocol here}}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'URLP1']
     shcn = ['streamHandlerClassName', "Put the stream handler classname here"]
     protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
     urlpAttrs = [name, shcn, protocol]
     print urlpAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, URLP1], [streamHandlerClassName, "Put the stream handler classname here"],  
     [protocol, "Put the protocol here"]]

4. Create a URL provider:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create URLProvider $node $urlpAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('URLProvider', node, urlpAttrs)

   Example output:

   URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_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.
