Configuring new mail sessions using wsadmin scripting

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure new mail sessions.

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/]

   • Using Jython:

     newmp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/MailProvider:MP1/')
     print newmp

   Example output:

   MP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailProvider_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailSession

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MailSession')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name				   String
   jndiName       String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name MS1]
     set jndi [list jndiName mail/MS1]
     set msAttrs [list $name $jndi]

     Example output:

     {name MS1} {jndiName mail/MS1}

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MS1']
     jndi = ['jndiName', 'mail/MS1']
     msAttrs = [name, jndi]
     print msAttrs

     Example output:

     [[name, MS1], [jndiName, mail/MS1]]

4. Create the mail session:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create MailSession $newmp $msAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('MailSession', newmp, msAttrs)

   Example output:

   MS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#MailSession_1)

5. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
