How to use touch() and "commit reconcile" from python

[cnicasio]

Hello

We have to do "commit reconcile" on a set of NSO services from python. We are using:

1) We open a write transaction "t"

2) We do touch in one or several service instances:

root.services.xxx.touch()

3) We do commit reconcile:

cp = ncs.maapi.CommitParams()

cp.reconcile_keep_non_service_config()

t.apply_params(True, cp)

However, config reference counts do not change.

If we do the same from the CLI, works perfectly:

admin@ncs(config)# services xxx touch

admin@ncs(config)# commit reconcile keep-non-service-config

Any ideas?

I feel like it should work. Maybe you should use False instead of true? Do you get anything interested in the return value from apply_params?

Thanks for your answer.

Tried with

t.apply_params(False, cp)

a didn't work again....si really weird.

What does the call return? Any errors there? Anything in devel.log or any of the other logs?

[cnicasio]

no errors apparently. devel.log and python service log show cb_create() runs...so the touch+commit works, but is not doing the reconcile stuff. Will open a TAC case. In case you have any other suggestion, it will be welcome!

Hi, I know this topic is very old and you probably found the issue. Anyway, I wanted to add an answer for those who end up in this post.
From the yang file where the "touch" action is defined, description says: Executing the action touch followed by a commit is the same as executing the action 're-deploy shallow'.

So, if your service is a stacked service, you won't see any reconciliation happening between the lowermost service and the device configuration.
