iapp description field

set app oracle-ebs1

 

set obj [tmsh::get_config sys app ser ${app}.app/$app description]

 

puts $obj

 

yields

 

{sys application service oracle-ebs1.app/oracle-ebs1 {

 

description "iApp for E-Business Suite"

 

}}

 

.. and you can parse it out with lindex.

 

Thanks Fred.. I now have the syntax OK.. however as I am using this in the Implementation Section of my iApp, the iApp doesn't seem to have been be created when I am setting the description field (which is the last line of the Impl. section).. hence it runs an error saying my iApp wasn't found. I can subsequently modify the iApp OK via TMSH..

 

Lindsay,

 

You are correct. You cannot retrieve the description field from an iApp that does not exist. You can get around this with a Tcl "catch".

 

set app $tmsh::app_name

 

set desc "Not available"

 

catch { set desc [tmsh::list sys app ser $app description] } err

 

If you wish to change the description from within the iApp, you can do that too:

 

tmsh::modify sys app ser $app description \"Hello World\"

 

I'm not sure what your objective is beyond that, but perhaps these examples will help.

In your iApp's implementation script, put the following code in it to set the description property of the application service that's currently executing:

 

 

tmsh::modify sys app service $tmsh::app_name description \"foo bar baz\"

 

 

Just replace "foo bar baz" with your own description - and make sure to escape those quotes.

 

 

Is that what you were after?

The tmsh::modify did the trick.. many thanks.

 

 

The description field is for a Project code ..used as part of the automation process.

 

 

I really appreciate your help here..
