Configuring new data source custom properties using wsadmin

You can configure new data source custom properties using the wsadmin tool scripting tool.

Before you begin

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

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new data source custom property.

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID:

    • Using Jacl:

      set newds [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/]

    • Using Jython:

      newds = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/DataSource:DS1/')
print newds
    Example output: 
    DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml$DataSource_1)
  2. Get the J2EE resource property set:

    • Using Jacl:

      set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newds propertySet]

    • Using Jython:

      propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newds, 'propertySet')
print propSet
    Example output: 
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourcePropertySet_8)
  3. Get required attribute:

    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty

    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
    Example output: 
    Attribute     Type
name         String
  4. Set up attributes:

    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name RP4]
set rpAttrs [list $name]

    • Using Jython:

      name = ['name', 'RP4']
rpAttrs = [name]
  5. Create a J2EE resource property:

    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs

    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)
    Example output: 
    RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)
  6. Save the configuration changes.
  7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
