Getting error with maapi.load_config in NSO 5.3

[ppratikdutta]

Unable to write xml file in NSO 5.3 CDB using maapi.load_config with below command
"maapi.load_config(m['s'],m['th'], maapi.CONFIG_XML, "Test.xml")"

Creating the transaction object as,  th = _ncs.maapi.start_trans(s, _ncs.RUNNING ,_ncs.READ_WRITE)

Getting the following error message:

Error: external error (19): Error on line 1: object is not writable: /<path>

But when changing this to _ncs.OPERATIONAL it gives no error but data is not getting loaded to nso CDB .

Can you share your code little more?

I created the below small example, and it works fine.

$ cat load.py
import _ncs
import socket

s = socket.socket()
_ncs.maapi.connect(s, '127.0.0.1', _ncs.NCS_PORT)
_ncs.maapi.start_user_session(s, 'admin',
                    'low-level-read', [], '127.0.0.1',
                    _ncs.PROTO_TCP)
th = _ncs.maapi.start_trans(s, _ncs.RUNNING ,_ncs.READ_WRITE)
_ncs.maapi.load_config(s, th, _ncs.maapi.CONFIG_XML|_ncs.maapi.CONFIG_MERGE, "/tmp/user-test.xml")
_ncs.maapi.apply_trans(s, th, False)
_ncs.maapi.finish_trans(s, th)
_ncs.maapi.end_user_session(s)
_ncs.maapi.close(s)
$ python load.py
$

test file

$ cat /tmp/user-test.xml
