Cisco IP Solution Center - Error when creating reports, Deleting SR jobs manually from cli, ISC auto start after boot

[edwardwaithaka]

Hi,

1. I get the following error when running a report;

* Unable to create the report. The following error(s) occurred:
1 : NBI Reports Login Failed. Security credentials not valid

what could be the issue?

2. How do I create customized reports? Is creating XML files the only way?

3. How do I delete resource pools or jobs manually from OS cli?

4. Is it possible to auto start ISC when the server reboots?

Hello,

For 1. Maybe it is a licensing issue (NBI licenses), which version are you? I've heard reports are enabled by default on 6.0 but not sure.

For 2. Look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/infrastructure/reference/guide/monit1.html#wp1229130 . I think xml is the only way even if you use directly the xmlapi.

For 3. I don't know if this is even possible. You can do it with nbi and xmlapi.

For 4. look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/installation/guide/aptrbl.html#wp1032457 symptom 6.

Hope I helped.

For 1. Maybe it is a licensing issue (NBI licenses), which version are you? I've heard reports are enabled by default on 6.0 but not sure.

OK, My version is 5.2.1

For 2. Look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/infrastructure/reference/guide/monit1.html#wp1229130 . I think xml is the only way even if you use directly the xmlapi.

So if I dont have the licenses it means even though I create the reports using XML, I still cant generate them?

For 3. I don't know if this is even possible. You can do it with nbi and xmlapi.

I was told that it is possible, i think by deleting job ids manually from the OS file system. I just dont know which files to delete.

For 4. look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/installation/guide/aptrbl.html#wp1032457 symptom 6.

OK, will try this.

For 2. I think tou need the NBI license to connect through xmlapi for all reports and custom commands.

For 3. There is a cli script "bin/runNbi" which runs .xml files from the cli against your server but again you have to devise the xml code to delete SRs and stuff.  There are examples in xmlapi documentation.
