JLI script with no arguments in the input


In the following example, the JLI command does not require any input arguments. This example JLI script fetches a list of all the servers and returns the output list of servers as a string, separated by the new line character.

BLCLI command

blcli -v <profile> Server listAllServers

Input

None

Output

All servers as a single string, delimited by the newline character (\n)

JLI command

./bljythonexe "<location of jli script file>"

Warning

Note

The exact JLI command depends on your operating system:

  • On Windows, use the bljythonexe command.
  • On UNIX, use the bljython command.

Sample script

import re
import sys
import string as s
import bladelogic.cli.CLI as blcli
jli = blcli.CLI()
jli.setServiceProfileName("<profile>")
jli.setRoleName("<Role>")
jli.connect()
def execute(command):
    print command
    #main CLI command execution.
     propertyObject = jli.run(cmd)
                 
    #If command executed successfully, return the result received after command execution.
    if(propertyObject.success()):
          propertyKey = propertyObject.returnValue
    return str(propertyKey)
                     
def split(result):
    #Using regular expression to split the result on new line
     arr = re.split('\n',result)
     counter = 0
                  
    #looping the array elements to remove newline.      
    for element in arr:
         #Strips newlines from right end of the string.
          arr[counter]=s.rstrip(element)
          counter+=1               
    return arr
#declaring the command array to hold commands to be executed
cmd =[]       
#Appending namespace
cmd.append('Server')
#Appending command
cmd.append('listAllServers')
#Result is returned as an array.
servers = split(execute(cmd))
print servers
#Iterating over the list of servers
for server in servers:
           if(server != ''):
                        print server
sys.exit(0)

For an alternative example of a script that returns a list of servers, see serverList_option2.txt.
