Configuring new protocols using scripting

You can configure new protocols with scripting and the wsadmin tool.

Before you begin

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

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new protocol:

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID:
    • Using Jacl:

      set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]
    • Using Jython:
      newmp = AdminConfig.create('MailProvider', node, mpAttrs)
      print newmp
    Example output:
    MP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailProvider_1)
  2. Get required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required ProtocolProvider
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.required('ProtocolProvider')
    Example output:
    Attribute       Type
    protocol		    String
    classname       String
  3. Set up required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set protocol [list protocol "Put the protocol here"]
      set classname [list classname "Put the class name here"]
      set ppAttrs [list $protocol $classname]
      Example output:
      {protocol protocol1} {classname classname1}
    • Using Jython:
      protocol = ['protocol', "Put the protocol here"]
      classname = ['classname', "Put the class name here"]
      ppAttrs = [protocol, classname]
      print ppAttrs
      Example output:
      [[protocol, protocol1], [classname, classname1]]
  4. Create the protocol provider:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create ProtocolProvider $newmp $ppAttrs
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.create('ProtocolProvider', newmp, ppAttrs)
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#ProtocolProvider_4)
  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 using the wsadmin scripting tool article for more information.
