Configuring new mail providers 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 mail provider:

Steps for this task

  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. 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.
