Boolean operation for if-ned-id xpath function in templates

[rogaglia]

Hi,

I want to apply a boolean operation in the if-ned-id function, in particular an OR for two types of NEDs.

Is this supported?

Tried without success:

<?if-ned-id zte-nc-1-nc-1.0:zte-nc-1-nc-1.0 or if-ned-id hw-nc-1.0:hw-nc-1.0?>

<?(if-ned-id zte-nc-1-nc-1.0:zte-nc-1-nc-1.0) or (if-ned-id hw-nc-1.0:hw-nc-1.0)?>

<?(if-ned-id zte-nc-1-nc-1.0:zte-nc-1-nc-1.0) or (if-ned-id hw-nc-1.0:hw-nc-1.0)?>

You just have to separate the ned-id's with a space or a newline. Don't use "if-ned-id" twice in the instruction. So:

<?if-ned-id zte-nc-1-nc-1.0:zte-nc-1-nc-1.0 hw-nc-1.0:hw-nc-1.0?>

No other 'boolean operation' makes sense here. (you can even have more than two ned-id's, and it will pass if any one of them is loaded).

Hi Ram,

Maybe an additional question, do you know if I can run XPATH string functions in "if-ned-id" call? The user story would be "every cisco-ios-* NED or every huawei-vrp* NED".

Thanks!

No. Currently, the implementation only splits the contents based on whitespace or newlines, and checks if any of the ned-id's are loaded. There is no support for wildcards or xpath string functions as of now.
