Using when condition in XML template

[gmathewk]

Hi Team,

I am using NSO 4.6.1.3 and using this simple XML template

<config xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/config/1.0">
 <devices xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/ncs">
 <?set HA = 'false'?>
 <device>
 <name>vishal</name>
 <config>
 <ip xmlns="urn:ios" >
 <access-list when="{$HA = 'true'}">
 <standard>
 <std-named-acl>
 <name>CSR</name>
 <std-access-list-rule>
 <rule>deny any</rule>
 </std-access-list-rule>
 </std-named-acl>
 </standard>
 </access-list>
 </ip>
 </config>
 </device>
 </devices>
</config>

When i perform a load merge i get the following error:

admin@ncs% load merge test.xml
Error: on line 8: unknown attribute: when in access-list

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Hello,

the 'load merge <file>' command will directly merge the configuration contained in the xml file into the current CDB, the format of the xml file must match the yang schema. 

load (merge | override) (terminal | <file>)
Load configuration from file or terminal.
merge Merge content of file/terminal with current configuration.

I don't believe processing of the 'load merge' will consider 'xml template' style processing instructions (conditionals or looping statements) as would be done by the NSO template engine for a service config-templates.
