About this task

Perform the following example to configure a new URL:

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newurlp variable.
    • Using Jacl:

      set newurlp [$AdminConfig  getid  /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/]
    • Using Jython:

      newurlp = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/URLProvider:URLP1/')
      print newurlp
    Example output:
    URLP1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URLProvider_1)
  2. Identify the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required URL
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.required('URL')
    Example output:
    Attribute     Type
    name         String
    spec         String
  3. Set up the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name URL1]
      set spec [list spec "Put the spec here"]
      set urlAttrs [list $name $spec]
      Example output:
      {name URL1} {spec {Put the spec here}}
    • Using Jython:

      name = ['name', 'URL1']
      spec = ['spec', "Put the spec here"]
      urlAttrs = [name, spec]
      Example output:
      [[name, URL1], [spec, "Put the spec here"]]
  4. Create a URL:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create URL $newurlp $urlAttrs
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.create('URL', newurlp, urlAttrs)
    Example output:
    URL1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#URL_1)
  5. Save the configuration changes.
