Automation

Hi all,

I'm writing an op script that should make some configuration changes and commit them.

It works fine when using jcs:load-configuration, but the problem is that it works in exclusive mode only.

In production environment I would need to use private mode, because often there are multiple users making changes simultaneously.

Is it possible?

Thank you,

Yes, you can do it yourself in private mode.  Something like this:

var $connection = jcs:open();

var $edit-private = <open-configuration> { <private>; }

/* adding the log message is optional, but considerate */

var $commit-config = <commit-configuration> { <log> "Changed by script: " _ $script; }

var $configuration = <load-configuration> {

     <configuration> {

        /* stuff goes here */

    }

/* please check/report on errors or warnings on each of $res1-4 */

var $res1 = jcs:execute( $connection, $edit-private );    /* open private session */

var $res2 = jcs:execute( $connection, $configuration );   /* load your config change */
var $res3 = jcs:execute( $connection, $commit-config );  /* commit your config */
var $res4  = jcs:execute( $connection, 'close-configuration' );  /* close up */

expr jcs:close( $connection );    /* may not be needed if script is exiting here */

}

hope that helps

Hi Doug,

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll try this tomorrow and let you know if it worked for me.

Cheers,

Hi Doug,

I wrote my op script today and it works fine on SRX. I will test it on MX soon, but I expect should work fine as well.

Thanks for your help!

You're quite welcome.  Glad to help!
