You can use properties files to create or change mail provider
properties.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your mail
provider configuration or its configuration objects.
Start the
wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language,
run the wsadmin -lang Jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete
a mail provider object and its configuration properties.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change
a properties file for a mail provider, validate the properties, and
apply them to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for mail provider properties files. You can create, modify, and delete mail provider configuration
properties.
Action |
Procedure |
create |
Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties
command. |
modify |
Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties
command. |
delete |
Uncomment #DELETE=true and
run the deleteConfigProperties command. |
Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create a mail provider and its properties.
- Create a properties file for a MailProvider object.
Open an editor and create a mail provider properties file.
You can copy the example properties file in this step into an editor
and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example
defines a mail provider named myProvider at cell
scope:
#
# Header
#
ResourceType=MailProvider
ImplementingResourceType=MailProvider
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:MailProvider=myProvider
#DELETE=true
#
#
#Properties
#
classpath={}
name=myProvider
isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean
nativepath={}
description=new mail provider
providerType=null #readonly
EnvironmentVariablesSection
#
#
#Environment Variables
cellName=WASCell06
- Run the applyConfigProperties command to create a mail
provider configuration.
Running the applyConfigProperties
command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this
Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter
produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt '])
- Modify an existing mail provider.
- Obtain a properties file for the mail provider that
you want to change.
You can extract a properties file
for a MailProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment variables
in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a mail
provider configuration.
- If you no longer need a mail provider, you can delete the
entire mail provider object.
To delete the entire object,
specify DELETE=true in the header section of the
properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command; for example:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the mail provider object.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
