load-native-config action in NSO python

[suvdeshm]

I want to write code for calling the action load-native-config in python.

What is a sample code for doing that?

Hello,

Here an example

import ncs

device_name="NETSIM-XR-0"


config="""
hostname TEST-PYTHON

"""


print(f"Loading config {config} on device {device_name}")
with ncs.maapi.Maapi() as m:
        with ncs.maapi.Session(m, 'admin', 'python', groups=['ncsadmin']):
                with m.start_write_trans() as t:
                        root = ncs.maagic.get_root(t)
                        load_native_input = root.devices.device[device_name].load_native_config.get_input()
                        load_native_input.data = config
                        load_native_output = root.devices.device[device_name].load_native_config(load_native_input)

Thanks!

From the above solution, when I try to access: load_native_output.result , then I get the below error:-

'ActionParams' object has no attribute 'result'

Try load_native_output.info
See $NCS_DIR/src/ncs/yang/tailf-ncs-devices.yang under load-native-config for input and output parameters.

I am still getting an error parsing the response:--

The load-native-config action does not commit the transaction when using MAAPI as it does with, for example, RESTCONF.
So, after loading the native config, if you want the output of a dry-run and then commit/apply the transaction, try something like:

...
self.log.info("result")
t = ncs.maagic.get_trans(root)
params = t.get_params()
params.dry_run_native()
result = t.apply_params(True, params)
self.log.info(result['local-node'])
t.apply_params(True, t.get_params())
