Using the Executor service

saalvare — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 03:47:09 GMT

YANG models not only define configuration and operational data. They also define remote procedure calls or commands. Cisco IOS XR 6.1.2 starts introducing models for those RPCs or commands. Those models define how to roll back config, test SNMP traps or generate custom syslog messages. An RPC model specifies whether the RPC takes input data and whether it produces output data.

In YDK 0.5.1, we introduced the Executor service which allows you to execute RPCs. This service supports a single operation (execute_rpc) and is currently documented at:

http://ydk.cisco.com/py/docs/ydk.services.html#executorservice-provides-api-to-execute-rpcs

Watch the ydk-py-samples repository for a series of upcoming sample apps that execute RPCs. Stay tuned!

Hi Santiago,

I am trying to use Python Executor service, but I got this error.

Do you know if execute_rpc method support ing 0.6.1 release ?

Thanks

Hi Thang,

Can you please post your script and complete logs?

Thanks,

Hi Abhi,

Here is my script

=================

from __future__ import print_function

from __future__ import absolute_import

from ydk.types import Empty

from ydk.services import CRUDService

from ydk.services import ExecutorService

import logging

from session_mgr import establish_session, init_logging

from ydk.models.lumentum.ietf_netconf import Get, GetConfig

from ydk.errors import YPYError

def srv_run(crud_service, session):

# GET

service = ExecutorService()

conf = GetConfig()

service.execute_rpc(service, session, conf)

if __name__ == "__main__":

init_logging()

provider = establish_session()

crud_service = CRUDService()

srv_run(crud_service, provider)

exit()

==============

And the log

Hi Thang,

As the error says, the arguments used for execute_rpc() function are wrong. Try the below :

service.execute_rpc(service, session, conf)

If you are interested in using netconf RPCs like get-config, you could look at netconf service. See an example here.
