APIs to read zone resource record data

Hi,

 

 

I was trying to use the following APIs to read zone and resource record data from F5 device and found following issues:

 

 

1. iControl::Management::ResourceRecord::get_rrs_detailed

 

 

RRList [] get_rrs_detailed(

 

in Management_ViewZone [] view_zones

 

);

 

 

The syntax says that the input should be array of Management_ViewZone.

 

But when I pass array of Management_ViewZone to it, it considers only the first Management_ViewZone in the array and ignores rest.

 

 

2. iControl::Management::Zone::get_zone

 

 

ZoneInfo [] get_zone(

 

in Management_ViewZone [] view_zones

 

);

 

 

I found the same problem as mentioned for the above API.

 

 

 

Am I missing something? Can someone please help on this?

 

 

Thanks

    Hi Sadhna,

    Your assessment sounds correct The Management::ResourceRecord.get_rrs_detailed method takes an array of Management::ViewZone objects as an argument and returns an array of Managment::RRList objects. It is likely a syntactical issues. Here is a POC written in Java: 

    package com.f5se.examples;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException;

public class GetDetailedResourceRecord {
public static void main(String[] args) {
iControl.BigIP bigip = new iControl.BigIP("test-ltm-01", "admin", "admin");
bigip.setIgnoreInvalidCert(true);

iControl.services.ManagementViewZone[] view_zones = new iControl.services.ManagementViewZone[2];
view_zones[0] = new iControl.services.ManagementViewZone();
view_zones[0].setView_name("external");
view_zones[0].setZone_name("test.local.");
view_zones[1] = new iControl.services.ManagementViewZone();
view_zones[1].setView_name("external");
view_zones[1].setZone_name("test2.local.");

try {
iControl.services.ManagementRRList[] rr_list = bigip.ManagementResourceRecord().get_rrs_detailed(view_zones);

for (iControl.services.ManagementRRList rr : rr_list) {
iControl.services.ManagementARecord[] a_records = rr.getA_list();
System.out.print("domain_name: ");
System.out.print(a_records[0].getDomain_name());
System.out.print(", IP: ");
System.out.println(a_records[0].getIp_address());
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ServiceException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

    Hope that helps,

    George
