Configuring new WebSphere topics using scripting

Before you begin

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

Why and when to perform this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new WebSphere topic:

Steps for this task

  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 WASTopic
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.required('WASTopic')
    Example output:
    Attribute       Type
    name				   String
    jndiName			 String
    topic		      String
  3. Set up required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name WAST1]
      set jndi [list jndiName jms/WAST1]
      set topic [list topic "Put your topic here"]
      set wtAttrs [list $name $jndi $topic]
      Example output:
      {name WAST1} {jndiName jms/WAST1} {topic {Put your topic here}}
    • Using Jython:
      name = ['name', 'WAST1']
      jndi = ['jndiName', 'jms/WAST1']
      topic = ['topic', "Put your topic here"]
      wtAttrs = [name, jndi, topic]
      print wtAttrs
      Example output:
      [[name, WAST1], [jndiName, jms/WAST1], [topic, "Put your topic here"]]
  4. Create was topic:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create WASTopic $newjmsp $wtAttrs
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.create('WASTopic', newjmsp, wtAttrs)
    Example output:
    WAST1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#WASTopic_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.
