Hi,

Thanks a lot for the response. Please find the error below

File "C:\Users\shabeeb\fmc-api-master\fmc-api-master\fmc_api_tools.py", line 2307, in <module>

So its saying the variable fmc_name is being referenced in the export_acp_rules function but hasn't been defined in the scope of that function, this typically arises when a variable is used before it has been assigned a value.

It could be a couple of things, check the export_acp_rules function and the fmc_name is defined before it's used, check if fmc_ name iss supposed to be a parameter or a variable that holds a specific value (like the name of the FMC), make sure thats defined. There could be more, without seeing your code its hard to say. Can you share the entire script?

@SHABEEB KUNHIPOCKER i understand this, but you are running your code locally to an FMC, and it is failing. I am asking to show me the code you are running which is getting you the error message please.
