Passing Arguments between EEM Policies

[lashariimtiaz]

Dear Sir,

Is there a way to pass variable/argument b/w policies in eem? or

Is there a way to set the value of an eem environment variable?

I want to run a child policy from parent eem policy and want to pass the value of a variable to child.Tried to use argument in action publish-event but its taking the name of variable itself as the argument not the value stored inside the variable.

Similary, i tried to change the value of a user-defined environement variable but it is also not working.

Need your help,

You can pass arguments using application events with variable arguments.  I just tested this.  What version of IOS are you using:

event manager applet ep

event none

action 1.0 set var "TEST123"

action 2.0 publish-event sub-system 798 type 1 arg1 "$var"

event manager applet ec

event application sub-system 798 type 1

action 1.0 puts "XXX: $_application_data1"

Router#event manager run ep

*Jun  4 15:30:10.215: %HA_EM-6-LOG: ec: XXX: TEST123

Thanks for the reply.

But still its not working. I am testing in GNS3.

event manager applet ep

event none

action 1.0 set var "TEST123"

action 2.0 publish-event sub-system 798 type 1 arg1 "$var"

event manager applet ec

event application sub-system 798 type 1

action 1.0 puts "XXX: $_application_data1"

Router#event manager run ep

Router#

*Jun  4 19:34:33.523: %HA_EM-6-LOG: ec: XXX: $var

Router#sh ver | i IOS

Ah, this was fixed as part of CSCtl74290.  You could upgrade to 15.3(2)T (if GNS3 supports it) or switch to using Tcl.  You can convert your applet using http://www.marcuscom.com/convert_applet/ .
