Configuring new mail providers using wsadmin scripting

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

1. Identify the parent ID.

   • Using Jacl:

     set node [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/]

   • Using Jython:

     node = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/')
     print node

   Example output:

   mynode(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|node.xml#Node_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required MailProvider

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('MailProvider')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   name				   String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set name [list name MP1]
     set mpAttrs [list $name]

   • Using Jython:

     name = ['name', 'MP1']
     mpAttrs = [name]

4. Create the mail provider:

   • Using Jacl:

     set newmp [$AdminConfig create MailProvider $node $mpAttrs]

   • Using Jython:

     newmp = AdminConfig.create('MailProvider', node, mpAttrs)
     print newmp

   Example output:

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

5. Save the configuration changes.
