Configure new referenceables 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 referenceable:

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

   • Using Jacl:

     set newrep [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newrep = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/ResourceEnvironmentProvider:REP1/')
     print newrep

   Example output:

   REP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ResourceEnvironmentProvider_1)

2. Identify the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required Referenceable

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('Referenceable')

   Example output:

   Attribute     Type factoryClassname   String classname   String

3. Set up the required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set fcn [list factoryClassname REP1]
     set cn [list classname NM1]
     set refAttrs [list $fcn $cn]

   • Using Jython:

     fcn = ['factoryClassname', 'REP1']
     cn = ['classname', 'NM1']
     refAttrs = [fcn, cn]
     print refAttrs

   Example output:

   {factoryClassname {REP1}} {classname {NM1}}

4. Create a new referenceable:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newref [$AdminConfig create Referenceable  $newrep  $refAttrs]

   • Using Jython:

     newref = AdminConfig.create('Referenceable',  newrep,  refAttrs)
     print newref

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#Referenceable_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.
