Hi Everyone,

I am new to DPBuddy. We are having Data Power with the folowing
conifiguration.

Firmware Rev:XI50.3.7.3.7

Now I want to configure the DPBuddy to automate the administrative

Hi,

this is a snippet out of our ant.xml

<dp:action name="ResetThisDomain" />

</target>

<dp:save/>

</target>

<dp:status class="FilesystemStatus" />

</target>

</project>

to do these command you start it by do:

# ant status

this will go get a filesystemstatus of the DP

cheers,

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the reply. I had successfully configured the DPBuddy and
tried to ran the above ant script but got the exception.

Here is the ant script which I ran in my environment :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<dp:action name="ResetThisDomain" />
</target>

<target name="saveDomain" description="Save running domain

configuration">
<dp:save/>
</target>

<target name="status" description="Get device status" >

<dp:status class="FilesystemStatus" />
</target>
</project>

Exception :

Chennu,

Is XML management enabled on your device? Is it a standard port (5550)?

There is no specific task to roll back, just use DataPower checkpoints. In other words, create a checkpoint using dpbuddy checkpoint task and if you need to roll back, just do it from Web GUI.

Karthik,

The "rollback" task does not exist. The rollback itself would have to be manual (which is OK, given that a need for rollback is rare). There is however the "checkpoint" task which can be called before every "import".

Regards,

do you think this works :

<dp:rollback domain="${dp.domain}" name="${dp.domain}" timestamp="true"/>

</target>

Thanks,

Hello Santhi,

You need to provide the target name, e.g., "ant testConnection".

Thanks,

I have a sample script, and when I execute it says build successful as below in the command prompt. But could not see any output.
Can anyone help me in understanding this.

Thanks Alexander for your reply.

Now for some reason I am getting below error.

D:\DataPower\DPBuddy\dpbuddy-3.1\samples\ant-tasks>ant status

Buildfile: D:\DataPower\DPBuddy\dpbuddy-3.1\samples\ant-tasks\build.xml

Note: XML management interface is enabled on my appliance.

I am running this againist the virtual appliance(XI52) that has only one ethernet interface configured. Will that be a problem?

Thanks,

Santhi.

Hello Santhi,

Could you first verify that the appliance is reachable from the machine where DPBuddy is running and that the port is not blocked? Just run telnet or portqry or netcat to check the port.

The number of Ethernet interfaces should not be an issue.

Regards,

- Alexander
