Review Changes - config-get-diff

[sekhardutta]

Hi Team

I am trying to get config differences after deployment using DCM. I am able to achieve this using a specific Class for example class="B2BGateway" name="all-objects" but when I try Class="all-classes" name="all-objects" it is throwing an error after 15min as below. I have to get all differences not only related to specif class. Any hep would be appreciated.

Could you please post the full successful and failure plugin logs? There is important information that's useful for debugging. Feel free to redact the any sensitive information (IP Address, username, etc) .

Can you do the same comparison via the web browser? This will help identify whether the problem is in the code that parses the diff response, or on the DP side.

I have updated my params based on the java method doGetDiff as below and it is working fine
all-classes
all-objects
true
all-classes
all-objects
false

But when we give as below it is failing with the error java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to compute the requested diff.
all-classes
all-objects
true
false
true

Now, the new problem I see is when I run get configuration changes, all action which were created dynamically by appliance also added. Normally we exclude these using WEBGUI with option "Exclude generated and external data". Is there any equivalent option we have here ? Any idea?

Interesting. The SOMA schema for the get-diff operation does not have any way to specify the inclusion or exclusion of generated objects. I strongly suspect that the underlying UI code is doing a get-diff that explicitly specifies each of the objects in its get-diff request, rather than using the all-classes and all-objects flags. It is certainly possible to do something similar here, but that code would need to be written. Thanks, Rich

Hi Rich

Please let me know if you find the param which we can use in java code to Exclude generated and external data by appliance in Review Changes. I have checked SOMA schema for get-diff and I didn't find any. For now as an interim solution I'm planning to write an XSLT to ignore unwanted data from the response of SOMA.
