Adding Groups Using an XML File
The XML file created specifically for adding multiple groups to the eG Enterprise system, should contain entries of the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Group action="add">
<Element>
<elements><comma-separated list of elements></elements>
<groupname><Name of the group></groupname>
</Element>
<Element>
<elements><comma-separated list of elements></elements>
<groupname><Name of the group></groupname>
</Element>
.
.
.
</Group>
Note that the elements should be specified in the format:<Component Type>:<component name>:<Port>
For instance:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Group action="add">
<Element>
<elements>2x client gateway:client1:80,2x client
gateway:client2:80,2x Publishing Agent:agent1:20002</elements>
<groupname>Group1</groupname>
</Element>
<Element>
<elements>Microsoft Windows:wincli1,Microsoft Windows:wincli2
Microsoft Windows:wincli3</elements>
<groupname>Group2</groupname>
</Element>
<Element>
<elements>2x Publishing Agent:agent1:20002,2x
Agent:agent2:20002,2x client gateway:client3:80</elements>
<groupname>Group3</groupname>
</Element>
</Group>
Note that the XML tags are the same as the input parameters of the ‘AddGroup’ command supported by eG CLI (see Adding a Group)
Once the XML file is created on the orchestrator’s host, invoke the following command from the orchestrator to add multiple groups to the eG Enterprise system:
egcli addgroup -managerid <ManagerID> -file <Fullpath_to_the_XML_file>
For example
egcli addgroup -managerid mgr153 -file E:\bulkgroupadd.xml
Note:
- Every Group specification should be included within the main <Group></Group> block only.
- A single XML file should not contain more than one <Group></Group> block.
- An XML file that is created for adding groups should not include sections pertaining to any other operation.
Adding Groups Using a CSV File
The CSV file created specifically for adding multiple groups to the eG Enterprise system, should contain the following entries:
Element,action
Group,add
groupname,elements
group1,“<comma-separated list of elements>”
group2,“<comma-separated list of elements>”
group3,“<comma-separated list of elements>”
Note that the elements should be specified in the format:<Component Type>:<component name>:<Port>
For instance:
Element,action
Group,add
groupname,elements
group1,"2X Client Gateway:client1:80,2X Client Gateway:client2:80,2X Client Gateway:client3:80"
group2,"2X Publishing Agent:agent1:20002,2X Publishing Agent:agent2:20002,2X Publishing Agent:agent3:20002"
group3,"Microsoft Windows:wincli1,Microsoft Windows:wincli2,Microsoft Windows:wincli3"
Once the CSV file is created on the orchestrator’s host, invoke the following command from the orchestrator to add multiple groups to the eG Enterprise system:
egcli addgroup -managerid <ManagerID> -file <Fullpath_to_the_CSV_file>
For example:
egcli addgroup -managerid mgr153 -file E:\bulkgroupadd.csv
