Newbie at SOAP - Cache

Good to see you worked out the original issue with the inbound keys parameter. You are very close now.

 

 

I see two issues with your code. First, you are passing in an array into the profile_name member of the keys structure. This is just truncating it to a single value but I'm not sure if that is what you are intending. For multiple profiles, you'll have to pass in multiple key parameters in the array.

 

 

Another issue you are having is that the returned value is a 2-D array and when you are dereferencing the first dimension of the array in your first foreach statement, it is casting the 2nd dimension array into a scalar so your second foreach statement has no items to enumerate over.

 

 

Here's is a script that illustrates one way to enumerate the ram cache entries.

Hi.

 

 

I found this CR that is related to the problem and I think it is causing problem with iControl too.

 

 

Deleting RAM Cache entries (CR72173)

 

The bigpipe utility has a limited number of arguments that are available for deleting RAM cache entries. To work around this issue, you can delete RAM cache entries in the following ways:

 

 

* To delete an individual RAM cache entry, you must fully specify the URI and host (for example,uri /Badger.html host 10.253.10.180:80 delete).

 

* To delete all of the RAM cache entries for one or more HTTP profiles, you must include the HTTP profiles separated by a space, followed by ramcache entry all delete (for example, bigpipe profile http myhttp yourhttp ramcache entry all delete).

 

* To delete all of the ramcache entries for all of the HTTP profiles, use the following command: profile http all ramcache entry all delete

 

 

 

Note that the http profile ramcache entry show command allows more flexible matching of URI and host names than the above.

 

 

Cheers
