service action from REST

[khgrant]

Hi NSO experts,

How do we run the service action from northbound?

What is the URL for the curl command via inputting file?

Below is how we run it on ncs_cli:

single service instance create:

admin@ncs> request siteswitch-multipoint-action create-siteswitch_multipoint_bridging siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2000 description something }

multiple service instance create:

admin@ncs> request siteswitch-multipoint-action create-siteswitch_multipoint_bridging siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2000 description something } siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2001 description something } siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2002 description something }

Hi Fatih,

This should be in the nso_northbound guide. Take a look, search for “_operations”.

It will be something like this:

• Add the suffix to your URL where the action lives à URL/_operations/operationXYZ
• HTTP Method: POST
• Payload: <input>...</input>

Thanks,

Hi Bilal and experts,

We are still not able to get the URL:

our service action is having some more arguments. not sure how to construct:

[nso@RMTPSSO28 ~]$ curl -i -u admin:admin -X POST http://198.18.0.68:8080/api/running/services/siteswitch_multipoint_bridging/_operations/siteswitch-multipoint-action/create-siteswitch_multipoint_bridging -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.yang.data+xml"

[nso@RMTPSSO28 ~]$

Do we need to set some configuration to make action available to REST?

Hi Fatih,

The URL doesn't seem right. The _operations is placed after the container that has the action.

Can you share your yang.

Also is your NSO instance accessible?

Does your action require an <input> payload?

  Thanks.

Hi Bilal,

Attached are the yang model, action Java code and service RFS Java code.

The action requires a list of services.

Like below: (red is the input list, blue are the action commands)

multiple service instance create:

admin@ncs> request siteswitch-multipoint-action create-siteswitch_multipoint_bridging siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2000 description something } siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2001 description something } siteswitch_multipoint { device ASR903-PRE1 interface-type GigabitEthernet interface-index 0/0/4 vlan-id 2002 description something }

Hi Fatih,

It is "config false" data, so its not under the datastore /running, but under /operational

If you do a "GET" on the URI http://198.18.0.68:8080/api/operational/services/siteswitch_multipoint_bridging/

you should get the action URI in the response body.
