Journeys API Assistance for loading UCS file as source

Hi iasimov,

You can use an asynchronous task to create a UCS using REST

From the REST API User Guide you can try following

curl -X POST \
https://192.168.25.42/mgmt/tm/task/sys/ucs \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-F5-Auth-Token: ABCDEFG' \
-d ' {
"command": "save",
"name": "myUcs"
} '

Using Python (3) You could use the following (code generated by Postman):

import http.client
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("192,168,25,42")

payload = "{\"command\": \"save\",\"name\": \"myUcs\"}"
headers = {
'X-F5-Auth-Token': "ABCDEFG",
'Content-Type': "application/json",
}

conn.request("POST", "mgmt,tm,task,sys,ucs", payload, headers)

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

print(data.decode("utf-8"))

There could be a possibility of a known issue with BIG-IP sometimes, the UCS creation with passphrase isn't working with admin user.

Here is the workaround:

This affects users logged in with the Admin role; you will be able to create a UCS with a passphrase while logged in as either the root user or as a user with the resource-admin role.
