rest call to initiate a Yang action - how to send in inputs.

[previousqna]

Hi,

I wanted to have a rest call to initiate a yang action:

container  GWServiceValidation {

      description "Gateway service validation";

      tailf:action validate-gwservice {

        tailf:info "Validate SAEGW/MME gateway standalone";

        tailf:actionpoint GWService-validation-point;

                input {

                        leaf device {

                        type leafref {

                           path "/ncs:devices/ncs:device/ncs:name";

                        }

                        }

                        leaf gw_type {

                                type enumeration {

                                        enum SAEGW;

                                        enum MME;

                                }

                        }

                }

        output {

          uses action-output;

        }

      }

So I used a post command as follows – but get that device cannot be a child. Can anyone point me quickly to the correct syntax to provide the leaf parameters into the action?

I believe you need an <input> element around the parameters.

Your request pay load on the screen shot is actually not a valid XML file since it doesn’t have root.

I can’t verify, but a valid payload may be something look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

                <input>

                                < device >mano</device>

                                < gw_type >MME</ gw_type >

                </input>

Good luck!
