Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Matching Criteria can be modified from GUI, in certain use case, users would like to make dynamic modification from CLI. 

Environment

Smarts - 10.1.x

Smarts-DM - 2.x

TCSA- 2.x

Resolution

• Copy attached modifyMatchingCriteria.asl in the server where APM (Availability and Performance Manager)/CM (IP-Configuration Manager) service is running as per user's requirement. Example: /root
• Assign execute permission to copied asl script. 
• Navigate to bin directory of APM/CM and run ./sm_adapter -s <APM/CM> -DobjName="S-CFG-AggregatePortsGroup/AggregatePort" -DclassName="<ClassName>" -Dvalue="<Value to be matched>" /root/modifyMatchingCriteria.asl  | tee

Example:

[<Username>@<Hostname> bin]#./sm_adapter -s INCHARGE-AM-PM -DobjName="S-CFG-AggregatePortsGroup/AggregatePort" -DclassName="PrimaryOwnerContact" -Dvalue="ContactOne" /root/modifyMatchingCriteria.asl  | tee

In the example, for ClassName 'PrimaryOwnerContact', matching value passed is ContactOne.

• Changes can be verified either from GUI or from CLI.
  • From GUI:
    • Navigate to P&T of domain, drill down to the class where changes are expected.
      
      
  • From CLI: 
    • From the same bin directory, run ./dmctl -s INCHARGE-AM-PM get 'ICF_ConfigurationSelector::S-CFG-AggregatePortsGroup/AggregatePort::criteria'| tee

Example:

[<Username>@<Hostname> bin]#./dmctl -s INCHARGE-AM-PM get 'ICF_ConfigurationSelector::S-CFG-AggregatePortsGroup/AggregatePort::criteria'| tee
