Configure new URLs 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 example to configure a new URL:

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

   • Using Jacl:

     set newurlp [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newurlp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/')
     print newurlp

   Example output:

   URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_1)

2. Identify the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required URL

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('URL')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type name         String spec         String

3. Set up the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name URL1]
     set spec [list spec "Put the spec here"]
     set urlAttrs [list $name $spec]

     Example output:

     {name URL1} {spec {Put the spec here}}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'URL1']
     spec = ['spec', "Put the spec here"]
     urlAttrs = [name, spec]

     Example output:

     [[name, URL1], [spec, "Put the spec here"]]

4. Create a URL:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create URL $newurlp $urlAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('URL', newurlp, urlAttrs)

   Example output:

   URL1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URL_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.
