Summary
This article shows how to extract a list of procedures from your installed plugin library. The approach applies to extracting data from other XML-generating API commands.
Solution
Use the Perl XPATH methods find() and get_nodelist on API get commands to generate list that can be processed with a for-loop.
Examples
use strict;use ElectricCommander;$| = 1;my $ec = ElectricCommander->new();for my $plugin ($ec->getPlugins()->find('//pluginName')->get_nodelist) { print "Plugin: ", $plugin->string_value(), "\n"; for my $procedure ($ec->getProcedures($plugin->string_value())->find('//procedureName')->get_nodelist) { print " - ", $procedure->string_value(), "\n"; } print "\n";} |
The above ec-perl code will generate output similar to the following:
- CleanUp - Clone - Create - CreateResourceFromVM - Destroy - List - Resume - Revert - ShutDown - Snapshot - Start - Suspend - UndefinePlugin: EC-LabManager-1.5.0.43267 - BulkCleanup - Capture - Cleanup - Clone - Command - ConfigurationChangeOwner - CreateConfigurationFromVMTemplate - CreateConfigurationFromVMTemplate4.0 - CreateLMConnection - CreateResourcesFromConfiguration - DeleteLMConnection - Deploy - Provision - Provision4.0 - Revert - Snapshot |
