DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Fellow UIM-admin,

We are currently migrating from SysEdge to UIM. We have made a script that creates a ntservices.cfx file per server based on its sysedge.cf. And we have another LUA nas script that deploys all these ntservices.cfx files to the correct robots (via text_file_put command).

The problem is, when I restart the ntservices probe, it isn't updating its config based on the .cfx? When I manually make a SuperPackage with this cfx it works fine. Is something preventing to use this .cfx that has been edited outside a superpackage?

Hi,

So the probe does not read in the .cfx

during the deployment process the controller takes care of this during the install package process.

I am not sure there is a manual way to have it apply the .cfx

you can make probe utility call backs and update the configuration... but I think that would be time consuming.

might be easier to install a request.cfg and have it deploy the packages you want from the distsrv.

Hope this helps

Thanks for replying. I have a different .cfx file for each robot. Maybe I can use callbacks on the distsrv to create a SuperPackage for each one. Then rebuild by script to put a request.cfg on the robots. I'll have to look into that...

And if you try to rename one of the .cfx files to cfg and try to deploy that?

That is what I am going to try to do next. I need to modify my script to generate a complete .cfg instead of a .cfx.

Hi,

Have you tried to execute _restart callback from Controller ? One thing i learned recently with the C API : The controller probe read,write and manage .cfg and .cfx file (the probe dont).

(Note: _restart will "soft-restart" the controller, this is not a complete restart). 

But that's a good problem, i will take a look Monday  

Best Regards,

Thomas
