Configuring new data sources using scripting

Before you begin

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

Why and when to perform this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new data source:

Steps for this task

  1. Identify the parent ID:
    • Using Jacl:

      set newjdbc [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/]
    • Using Jython:
      newjdbc = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/JDBCProvider:JDBC1/')
      print newjdbc
    Example output:
    JDBC1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#JDBCProvider_1)
  2. Obtain the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required DataSource
    • Using Jython:
      print AdminConfig.required('DataSource')
    Example output:
    Attribute   Type
    name	   String
  3. Setting up required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name DS1]
      set dsAttrs [list $name]
    • Using Jython:
      name = ['name', 'DS1']
      dsAttrs = [name]
  4. Create a data source:
    • Using Jacl:

      set newds [$AdminConfig create DataSource $newjdbc $dsAttrs]
    • Using Jython:
      newds = AdminConfig.create('DataSource', newjdbc, dsAttrs)
      print newds
    Example output:
    DS1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#DataSource_1)
  5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
  6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
