Topology driver which will trigger the resource driver in Cloudshell Authoring Tool
I'm creating a topology driver which will invoke the resource driver in Cloudshell authoring tool. We are using 'TestShellAPI.dll' file for the function required related to the reservation. I found multiple functions through which I can pull the resource details like (Attributes, family, resourcemodel, etc) from the ongoing reservation in the authoring tool. But I need a function which will share the details of resource along with its resource driver's associated with it, in an ongoing reservation. eg. Resource - RNC Nokia is attached to Driver - RNC Driver. So when I'm reserving this RNC resource "the function should share me the details related to RNC along with its RNC driver" I can do that by using 'GetResourceDetails' function. But this function can be used only for 1 resource where, I need to define the resource path in Authoring tool. As I have more than 100 resources, this option is not feasible.
Do we have any option through which this action can be performed?
Hi @vrushali.vibhandik@tatacommunications.com ,
If you are building these drivers in Authoring, each resource command has multiple default inputs. One of them is the 'resource' matrix. If you need any of the attributes of the resource, just add it to the initial value of this matrix, and in runtime - you'll get the values in the 3rd column.
If you're building these drivers in python, you should have access to the resource attributes from the context.resource.attributes dictionary.
If you're trying to get this information from the topology driver, then you'll have to use the GetResourceDetails for each resource that you need its attributes.
Hi @Yaniv.K thank you for providing alternate option. But while I waiting for your reply I tried another way.
Where i used function GetReservationDetails through which i could create the resource path and saved in a variable for all resources in blueprint and further is used GetResourceDetails and pulled the attribute details.
I would like to know if we have detailed information about the list of libraries used in python, which will give me desired output while programming in Python.
We have multiple packages to help you build your shells and scripts.
I would start by going to our developer guide, and go over the information and links there to learn more about building shells and orchestration scripts in python.
