perl ConfigSync = Epic Fail

I'm not getting this to work, so reluctantly will ask for help. There are many good threads with examples of saving the config after iControl changes, but after several hours of trying, I'm unable to...

Problem solved. Looks like I picked up some bad syntax from some of the older threads in this forum. In particular, the "urn:iControl:ITCMSystem/ConfigSync" here: https://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=2&postid=3769&view=topic

 

 

That's the problem with trying to code over your head, but hey, that's how we learn, I guess. Taking the syntax directly from your PerlConfigSync page makes it work:

 

 

 
 $ConfigSync = SOAP::Lite 
   -> uri('urn:iControl:System/ConfigSync') 
   -> readable(1) 
   -> proxy("$sProtocol://$sHost:$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi"); 
 eval { $ConfigSync->transport->http_request->header 
 ( 
   'Authorization' =>  
     'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$sUID:$sPWD", '') 
 ); };

 

 

I noted your updates to the save_flag, as well.

 

 

Muchas gracias.
