Jython Script that reads values from external file

or, are you perhaps requesting help with writing a Jython script that allows you to execute a command to perform this kind of request.

For example, something like this:

wsadmin -conntype none -lang jython -f mapUsersToAdminRole.py --Administrator 12345 11111 22222

I apolizise for not putting it striaght.

You are right ...I'm trying to read an input file that contains the roleName and userids values from a text file.

next question, what will the input "look" like?

For example:

- what delimiter will exist between the roleName and userid values?
- how many userid's can exist for each roleName?

The input will be like...userid,role name

The delimiter would be , (comma).

The user id can be mapped to more than one role name.

For example:  12345,Administrator,Adminsecuritymanager
Where 12345 is useris and Administrator,Adminsecuritymanager are roles

Something like this perhaps?

With this input:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
12345,Administrator,Adminsecuritymanager
11111,Bill,Jack,Bob
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Command:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
wsadmin -conntype none -lang jython -f mapUsersToAdminRole.py map.dat
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Generated output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Processing: map.dat
>>> 12345,Administrator,Adminsecuritymanager
mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Administrator', '-userids', '12345'] )
mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Adminsecuritymanager', '-userids', '12345'] )
>>> 11111,Bill,Jack,Bob
mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Bill', '-userids', '11111'] )
mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Jack', '-userids', '11111'] )
mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Bob', '-userids', '11111'] )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

import sys
 
filename = sys.argv[ 0 ]
print 'Processing: ' + filename
 
f = open( filename )
data = f.read()
f.close()
 
for line in data.splitlines() :
  print '>>>', line
  info = line.split( ',' )
  for role in info[ 1: ] :
    print "mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', '%s', '-userids', '%s'] )" % ( role, info[ 0 ] )

Thank you..will try and update.

Thanks again

Note that it doesn't actually use the AdminTask object.  Right?

If you really want it to perform the action, you need to change the print statement in line 14, or add a call to the AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole() call immediately after line 14 with the same indentation...

The above code works as same...but my intension is to use this to actually make configuration.
So when i added  AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole() call immediately after line 14 with the same indentation...it's throws error saying  "Required parameter roleName is not found for command mapUsersToAdminRole"  Following is the sample output

WASX7303I: The following options are passed to the scripting environment and are available as arguments that are stored in the argv variable: "[map.dat]"
Processing: map.dat
>>> 123456,Administrator
AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole( ['-roleName', 'Administrator', '-userids', '123456'] )

These errors can occur because there are UTF-8 characters in the file that are not valid. The default codepage for RHEL 3 is UTF-8 (en_US.UTF-8). When doing a text file read through Java" code, the program assumes all characters are UTF-8 encoded. There might be one or more characters in the file that are not part of the UTF-8 specification, causing the load to fail. An easy way to determine if a character that is not valid is causing the error is to enter export LANG=C and run the script again. If you determine that the problem is a character that is not valid:

   1. Open a new text reader on the file.
   2. Read it one character at a time.
   3. Print the character that is not valid.
   4. When you press the back characters, you get the exception and will then know which of the characters is causing the error.
   5. Remove any characters that are not valid, then run the script again
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I bet that A1.py is unicode, and not UTF-8...

Have you had a chance to check whether or not A1.py uses Unicode characters?

Yes..i could find no unicode characters.

As i mentioned earlier,the above code works fine with the print statemant.But when i use the AdminTask

command..i get the error . That where i was struck and tring to debug.

If you have any thoughts on that could you please let know.

Thank you

Looking back at http://#a25026643 I see that I was looking at the wrong part of the error message.  The important part is this:

Required parameter roleName is not found ...

Exactly what AdminTask command were you trying to execute?

Following  is the AdminTask command  i'm trying to use
AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole

The full command i'm using is
AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole(( ['-roleName', 'Administrator', '-userids', '123456'] )

That command has syntax problems...

- 2 open parenthesis '('
- 1 closing parenthesis ')'
- Note: If you do not specify this parameter, the cell level authorization group is assumed.
? Do you want the roleName to be "Administrator" with a capital 'A' ?

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/topic/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/rxml_atauthorizationgroup.html?resultof=%22mapUsersToAdminRole%22%20%22mapuserstoadminrol%22%20#rxml_atauthorizationgroup__cmd13

AdminTask.mapUsersToAdminRole(( ['-roleName', 'Administrator', '-userids', '123456'] )

                                              

1:

That's my typing mistake.There would be only one open/close paranthesis.

Yes,I'm aware that this would configure at cell level and .Yes,the role name has to be with a capital 'A' .

ok, please attach the script that you are trying to execute, as well as the sample output of an attempt to execute it (as well as any input file).

Attached is the zip file that contain two files, code.txt(renamed to txt,coz it didnot allow to upload with .py extension) is the jython code and file.txt is the external file from which the values are read.

Also , i've attached the out put.

Please let know if any more info needed.

Very, very strange.

Exactly what version of WebSphere is being used?

from the Dmgr01/bin, exeucte:

./versionInfo.sh

I need all four (dot separated) values.

Thanks!

Websphere Application Server 6.1.

I haven't executed the command,as i'm done for the day.I could provide the exact info ..tomorow.

Thanks.
