Can I use nc:operation="delete" in XML template for deleting config?
The template will be called from Java code kiked from json rpc.
<Background>
I want to delete a config from NSO using XML template.
Device is ACI, NSO is 4.4.2 and NED is APIC NED 3.0.34.
This is how I get the XML template to do the job.
admin@ncs(config)# no devices device kws-VIM-A config cisco-apicdc:apic infraInfra infraPortTrackPol default adminSt on
admin@ncs(config)# commit dry-run outformat xml
result-xml {
local-node {
data <devices xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/ncs">
<device>
<name>kws-VIM-A</name>
<config>
<apic xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ned/cisco-apicdc">
<infraInfra>
<infraPortTrackPol>
<name>default</name>
<adminSt xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
nc:operation="delete"/>
</infraPortTrackPol>
</infraInfra>
</apic>
</config>
</device>
</devices>
}
}
admin@ncs(config)#
The XML template I extracted from above output worked just fine.
But I found several past discussions discouraging the use of nc:operation="delete" and encouraging to use tags="delete" instead.
Couldn't quite figure out why the nc:operation="delete" was discouraged and if these discussions also apply to my case either.
(These discussions generally talks about "no shutdown" for IOS NED though.)
It would be very much appreciated if you can shed a light.
BTW, I also tried tags="delete", but it didn't work.
Probably a bug of APIC NED, but I am not going into that here.
Thank you very much in advance.
