Is there a list of available action codes

[WILLIAM BARNES]

I was wondering if there is a list of all the available action codes and what they do.

 

All I have is the list that Joe Ackley provided of some of the more frequently used action codes.  I am hoping that there is a full list somewhere.  For example, I would like to trigger an action to rediscover connections on a device or a port.  Maybe trigger a synchronize on a user.  Or possibly trigger a model name update.  So, it would be great to know what actions are out there.

 

Joe's list with addition from Jason Meader.

Action Name	Code (Decimal)	Function
reconfig	0x1000e (65550)	reconfigure a model
activate	0x480003 (4718595)	activate a watch
deactivate	0x480004 (4718596)	deactivate a watch
reconfigure apps	0x210008 (2162696)	reconfigure application models on Cisco and Wellfleet devices
reload Event Disp	0x100a2 (65698)	update the SpectroSERVER with changes to EventDisp and AlertMap
relearn ifAlias	0x10411 (66577)	rediscover any changes to the ifAlias and update X_ifAlias (post 9.4)

Hi Bill,

   We do not have an officially published list of action codes available.  We could probably come up with a list of "user friendly" action codes but that will take some time.

 

For your requests --

 

Rediscover Connections -- Action code 0x25e0022

Synchronize user - Action code 0x10125

Reevaluate model name - Action code 0x1011f

 

Cheers

Jay

 

 

Please Note:  The list that was posted previously was removed due to sensitivity with the information. Action codes should not be used unless you know how to use them and what they are for so if anybody has downloaded that list, please be cautious.  Many of those codes are used for debugging purposes and can have adverse affects if used incorrectly.

[WILLIAM BARNES]

Thank you.  That will cover me for what I want to do.

 

I fully understand your statement about the risks in using the action codes.  What I will do going forward is to bounce my ideas off of support so that I don't do anything that will blow up my environment.

Last thing that I want to do is to get Mr. Ackley upset with me by breaking something mysteriously.

Check out $SPECROOT/SDK/include/VPAPI/CsActionCode.h

 

e.g.

// Action to reload EventDisp files
, RELOAD_EVENT_DISP = 0x000100a2

Is there an action code to get NCM to get the latest config of a device with a specific model handle?

Thanks,

Frank

By get you mean capturing the latest version? Have you tried this one? (CAPTURE_HOST_CONFIG = 0x00821001).

[Frank Tonjes]

Many Thanks, I'll try that one!

[Frank Tonjes]

Thanks CatalinF,

 

I've finally managed to get some time to test this and using:

 

e.g.: http://OCServer:port/spectrum/restful/action/0x821001?mh=0x352d9a1

 

I get the response:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<action-response xmlns="http://www.ca.com/spectrum/restful/schema/response" error-message="Internal Error: Must add unpack for type com.aprisma.spectrum.app.util.common.CsModelHandle" error="Failure">
<attribute id="1"></attribute>
<attribute id="3">0</attribute>
<attribute id="302">0</attribute>
<attribute id="303">0</attribute>
</action-response>

 

Am I supposed to hand it more than just the model handle? Do you know what these attribute ID's are for?

 

It does seem to get the config but would be great to know why it's throwing the 'Failure' error.

 

Thanks,

Frank

Bringing back this post from the dead.  I see the same errors as @franktonjes.  It appears that the capture is successful.  Unsure is this error mentioned above is benign.

 

If I feed the model handles through a shell script, I get this message as the last message which references the input file I'm using the read the model handles: Attribute 0x12f null: + for i in '`cat ${INPUT}`'.

Hi Karen,

 

I've just lived with the reply! My aim was to get it to get the config and it does it  It would be good to know - I suspect there are other attributes we need to send along but not sure which ones!

Regards,

 

Frank

Just let us know also when you figure it out.
