Hi,
I am currently using the 1.0.1 UCSM plugin for vCO. I have tried creating a MACPool using the addMacPool action and this works fine. I then need to add a MAC Address Block for the created mac pool for which I used the addMacMemberBlock action however this doesn't allow me to specify the MAC Pool as an input parameter. The parentMos input parameter is not editable .
Any inputs will be really helpful.
Thanks,
R

R,
We will look into the issue and get back to you. For faster response, we recommend opening a case with Cisco TAC.

Hi Ravi Rajan,
You are using the correct sequence of actions to perform the required task. We are able to create the workflow at our end successfully:-
Before explaining further let me first explain types of inputs/outputs in VCO:-
Variables in workflow:-
Input Variables:- These variables take inputs from the user.
Output Variables:- These variables carry values/data outside of the workflow.
Attributes/Local Variables:- These variables have no visibility outside workflow, and can be used to store values/data temporarily within a workflow for inter task/action communication.
Variables in Actions:-
Input Variables:- These are not workflow inputs. These inputs are requested by action/task, and can be mapped to Input Variables of workflow or Attributes of workflow.
Output Variables:- These are not workflow outputs. These outputs are produced by action/task, and can be mapped to Output Variables of workflow or Attributes of Workflow.
Now with that background if you want to use output of one action to be used as input of another action, then you need to declare that output as "Local Variable" (local attribute) instead of Output of the workflow. Output of workflow cannot be directly used as input to another action.
So when you drag addMacPool action and click setup, then declare output as “Local Variable”, as shown in figure below:-
Now macPoolList Local variable will be available in next action addMacMemberBlock parentMos input dropdown as shown in figure below:-
Please let me know if you require any further assistance.
