How do I execute RPCs?

This document contains some examples of executing RPCs defined in yang. To perform these operations, the ExecutorService is used.

The below approach can be used to execute a rollback RPC.

Executing a rollback RPC

For this example, the Cisco_IOS_XR_cfgmgr_rollback_act.RollBackConfigurationLast class is used. Note that the ydk and ydk-models-cisco-ios-xr python packages need to be installed for this example.

# Import the rollback module
from ydk.models.cisco_ios_xr import Cisco_IOS_XR_cfgmgr_rollback_act

# Import the executor service and netconf provider
from ydk.services import ExecutorService
from ydk.providers import NetconfServiceProvider

# Create object
roll_back_configuration_to = Cisco_IOS_XR_cfgmgr_rollback_act.RollBackConfigurationLast()

# Force roll back for the five most recent changes
roll_back_configuration_to.input.comment = "Forced programmatic rollback"
roll_back_configuration_to.input.count = 5
roll_back_configuration_to.input.force = True
roll_back_configuration_to.input.label = "PRB-005"

# Create executor service
executor = ExecutorService()

# Create a NetconfServiceProvider instance to connect to the device
provider = NetconfServiceProvider(address='10.0.0.1',
                                     port=830,
                                     username='test',
                                     password='test')

# Execute RPC on NETCONF device
executor.execute_rpc(provider, roll_back_configuration_to)
