Running Command Scripts

This chapter describes running command scripts.

Note Read Chapter 19, "Getting Started with Cisco BQL" for an understanding of BQL, and as a prerequisite to understanding this chapter.

For more information about ANA Macro Language scripts see Defining ANA Macro Language Script Lines, page 14-12.

Command Script Name

Each command script is considered as BQL command. Thus, the name of the script is used as command name.

OID

OID format as explained in the Cisco Active Network Abstraction BQL Guide.

The OID specifies the IMO object with which the command is associated.

Parameter name 1
(2) (3) ...

The value of the input parameters. A script can have none or many input parameters.
Note A command is always associated with an IMO object that enables it to use the properties of the object inside the script lines. For example, by selecting a Port object, the port's properties such as portAlias, and status are automatically made available to the script, but the command can access any other entity in the device.

Output

The output of a script is the IMO object: "IScriptResult". See IScriptResult for a description of this object.

Examples

ChangePortStatus

The following example runs the script ChangePortStatus. This script changes the status of specified port. The parameter "portstatus" specifies the desired status of the port.

<command name="ChangePortStatus">
<param name="oid">
<value>{[ManagedElement(Key=PE_South)][PhysicalRoot][Chassis][Slot(SlotNum=1)][Module][ Port(PortNumber=FastEthernet1/0)]}</value>
</param>
<param name="portstatus">
<value>no shutdown</value>
</param>
</command>

Add_VRF

The following example runs the script Add_VRF. This script adds new VRF to specified router. It receives the parameters: vfrName, rt & rd.

<command name="Add_VRF">
<param name="oid">
<value>{[ManagedElement(Key=P-North)]}</value>
</param>
<param name="rt">
<value>333:333</value>
</param>
<param name="vrfName">
<value>sharona2</value>
</param>
<param name="rd">
<value>445:445</value>
</param>
</command>

The script code in ANA Macro Language is as follows:

show ip vrf $vrfName$ [success= No VRF named $vrfName$]
[rollback]
[activity=Creating The VRF]
config terminal [prompt=(config)]
ip vrf $vrfName$ [prompt=(config-vrf)]
[activity=Setting the route destinguisher]
rd $rd$ [fail=% Cannot set RD, check if it's unique]
route-target both $rt$
end

RunScript

The following example runs the script RunScript. This script enables the system to login to a Cisco device using the specified user and the script is then executed. It takes the parameters: a cid of a script, the username and password for the device.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<command name="RunScript">
<param name="cid">
            <value>
<command name="ChangePortStatus">
    <param name="oid">
        <value>{[ManagedElement(Key=CISCO-80.80.80.60)][PhysicalRoot][Chassis][Slot(SlotNum=0)] [Module][Port(PortNumber=Ethernet0/1)]}</value>
    </param>
    <param name="portstatus">
        <value>no shutdown</value>
    </param>
</command>
</value>
</param>
<param name="userName">
            <value>tomer</value>
</param>
<param name="password">
            <value>tom1</value>
</param>
</command>

Script Results

IScriptResult

IScriptResult is the IMO object that holds the result of a script execution.

The object properties are:

•ExecutionTime—The time it took to run the script in milliseconds.

•StatusEnum—The status of the result represented in numeric values as follows:

–0 = Unknown

–1 = Success

–2 = Failure

–3 = Failure: device user switch unsupported

–4 = Failure: invalid credentials for device user switch

•FailedActivity—If the script failed this will hold one of the script labels defined in the script describing the part of the activity that failed.

•ExecutionSequence—Holds an array of IScriptEvent that holds the execution sequence that occurred in the script.

IScriptEvent

IScriptEven is the IMO object that describes a single event script that was run.

The object properties are:

•EventType—The type of the event. Represented in numeric values as follows:

–0 = Telnet Prompt

–1 = Telnet Command

–2 = Telnet Reply

–3 = SNMP Get Command

–4 = SNMP Set Command

–5 = SNMP Result

–6 = Exception

–7 = User Remark

•Message—The message content of the event.

Successful Example

The following example shows the returned result of successful execution of the Add_VRF script, see Add_VRF:
