Client.factory.create

[Nathan Gageby]

I am new to all of this and attempting to automate some CSS/PT creation.  I am having success when I have only an item to add/create.  When I need to create an item like a CSS with members I am running into issue. I am trying to use the factory.create component of SUDS to build everything I need to pass to CCM for a new CSS.  Sample below:

newCSS = client.factory.create('ns0:XCss')

newCSS.name = siteName + '-CSS'

This will generate the below object for me:

(XCss){

   description = None

   members =

      (members){

         member[] = <empty>

      }

   partitionUsage = None

   name = None

My issue is populating the tier below "members =".  I am not able to get that populated in the correct format to send to CCM.  This same issue repeats itself when creating a hunt group.  I have tried using the schema guide but find it less than helpful.  I am not able to factory.create(members) in any variation 'ns0:members' 'ns0:addMembers' etc...

I would like a sample of how this works or some guidance on how to determine the method to populate memberships when working in Python with SUDS.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I Have made some progress from the above. I am able to add a member but only in the “none” partition. When I need to specify a partition for the directory number the number is not added to the line group.

def CreateHuntGroup(client):

  client.factory.create('ns0:XHuntList')

  lineGroup = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroup')

  member = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroupMember')

  member.directoryNumber.pattern = '4001'

  member.directoryNumber.routePartitionName = 'PTid-PT'

  lineGroup.members = member

  lineGroup.name = 'Function1s'

  client.service.addLineGroup(lineGroup)

  return lineGroup

Thanks all

-—-not to confuse but the codes are for two different processes. The original post was for adding a css.  I was able to complete that but as I progressed I then found I was not able to reliable use members. In the recent code attachment I am using members to add a line group member and have again become stuck.

If you don't have to use a client factory, just add the attributes in a dict when calling the axl method.

axl = Client(wsdl_url, location=service_url, username=username, password=password)

css_kwargs = {

   "name": "suds_css",
   "members": {

   "member": [

  {

   "index": "1",
   "routePartitionName": "Phones_Pt"
   },
   {

   "index": "2",
   "routePartitionName": "Xlate_Pt"
   }

  ]

  }

}

axl.service.addCss(css=css_kwargs)

Sadly, Jive's formatting stinks, but you need to supply a list of members if have more than one.

The attributes within "member" change between methods.

For Css:

               <member>

                  <routePartitionName uuid="?">?</routePartitionName>

                  <index>?</index>

               </member>

            </members>

Compared to LineGroup:

               <member>

                  <lineSelectionOrder>?</lineSelectionOrder>

                  <directoryNumber uuid="?">

                     <pattern>?</pattern>

                     <routePartitionName uuid="?">?</routePartitionName>

                  </directoryNumber>

               </member>

And HuntGroup:

               <member>

                  <lineGroupName uuid="?">?</lineGroupName>

                  <selectionOrder>?</selectionOrder>

               </member>

Below if my lineGroup to send via client.service.addLineGroup  If I send this I will have no members.  If I however remove the line from any partition and send this without that section it will add a member.  What am I missing?

Thanks!

lineGroup

(XLineGroup){

   distributionAlgorithm = None

   rnaReversionTimeOut = None

   huntAlgorithmNoAnswer = None

   huntAlgorithmBusy = None

   huntAlgorithmNotAvailable = None

   members =

      (XLineGroupMember){

         lineSelectionOrder = ""

         directoryNumber =

            (XDirn){

               pattern = "4001"

               routePartitionName =

                  (routePartitionName){

                     value = "PTid-PT"

                     _uuid = "{7A7B4C11-F9BB-6322-CEA4-BC358AB581E9}"

                  }

               _uuid = ""

            }

      }

   name = "ThisIsIt"

   autoLogOffHunt = None

}

>>> }

Thanks!

Can you share a sample script?

[Nathan Gageby]

from suds.client import Client

from suds.xsd.doctor import Import

from suds.xsd.doctor import ImportDoctor

import ssl

import getpass

def AXLConnect():

    wsdl = 'file:///C:/Python27/AXL/AXLAPI.wsdl'

    location = 'https://10.201.201.221:8443/axl/'

    UN = raw_input('Enter the AXL username: ')

    PW = getpass.getpass()

    tns = 'http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/'

    imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/',

    'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')

    imp.filter.add(tns)

    ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

    client = Client(wsdl,location=location,faults=False,

                    plugins=[ImportDoctor(imp)],username=UN,password=PW)

    print ' Connected to CCM'

    return client

def CreateHuntGroup(client):

    client.factory.create('ns0:XHuntList')

    lineGroup = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroup')

    member = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroupMember')

    member.directoryNumber.pattern = '4001'

    member.directoryNumber.routePartitionName = 'PTid-PT'

    lineGroup.members = member

    lineGroup.name = 'Function1s'

    client.service.addLineGroup(lineGroup)

    return lineGroup

client = AXLConnect()

lineGroup = CreateHuntGroup(client)

This is without the dictionary shown in prior posts.

Working for me:

def AXLConnect():

  wsdl = WSDL

  location = LOCATION

  UN = USERNAME

  PW = PASSWORD

  tns = 'http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/'
   imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/', 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')

  imp.filter.add(tns)

  ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

  client = Client(wsdl,location=location,faults=False, plugins=[ImportDoctor(imp)], username=UN, password=PW)

   return client

def CreateHuntGroup(client):

  client.factory.create('ns0:XHuntList')

  lineGroup = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroup')

  m = client.factory.create('ns0:XLineGroupMember')

  m.lineSelectionOrder = 1
   m.directoryNumber.pattern = '4007'
   m.directoryNumber.routePartitionName = 'Phones_Pt'
   lineGroup.members.member = [m]

  lineGroup.name = 'Function1s_2'
   client.service.addLineGroup(lineGroup)

def main():

  client = AXLConnect()

  CreateHuntGroup(client)

if __name__ == '__main__':

  main()

Thanks.  I made this partition using another program so maybe it has a space or something I am not capturing. suggestion on a list line or list dn type code segment I can use to populate member so I am sure I don’t typo it?

Thanks again for all the help here.
