Xml input to netconf-console-tcp

General
1

Hi,

I have a xml file which does the functionality of assigning allocid to 8 ports with 8 message-ids.
Sample for 2 ports is given below, rest the same for other ports.
./netconf-console-tcp allocid.xml == triggers only for 3 message-id so 3 ports got assigned but others not assigned(port 4 to 8).

  1. is there any changes needed at confd.conf?
  2. i have 10 xml files with different functionalities, can i put all into one xml(some 100 message-ids) and excute one shot?

That should work fine for you. Example using the examples.confd/intro/1-2-3-start-query-model example:

$ diff -u cmd-set-subnet1.xml.bak cmd-set-subnet1.xml

Hi cohult,

i am using baisc version.

i verified all xml files at examples dir, all consists of
message-id=“1” for
message-id=“2” for

but i have xml with 8 message-ids for out of 8 only 3 getting triggered.
so any changes needed to overcome this restriction for 3?
or any changes need at xml format to trigger all 8 ids?

please correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks,
Sasidhar

Example of multiple <edit-config> in one file can be found here:

https://cisco.box.com/s/hfys28s9kl7jl6dyowor73pnmi6fb7x8

Please, can you test it in your environment.

As suggested, it is always better to put all data to one <edit-config> as each <edit-config> into running target means separate transaction. For running target commit message at the end (in example) is not needed .

There is of course no limitation or restriction like that.

Thanks mnovak and cohult for helping.

it works with all data under one , means single message-id.
