Use API to set content view and environment for a single host

[DEvans]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to set the content view and environment for a single
host?  I can't see a way to do it here -
http://www.katello.org/docs/api/apidoc.html.

As a work around I have been trying this -
http://www.katello.org/docs/api/apidoc/systems_bulk_actions/environment_c...,
but that seems like a sledge hammer.  If that is the best way of
acomplishing the goal then I have a problem with my code, which looks like
this:

  data = {'organization_id': org_id,
          'included': {'ids': host_ids},
          'content_view_id': cv_id,
          'environment_id': lce_id}


  json_print(data)
  result = json_put('%ssystems/bulk/environment_content_view' %
(katello_url), json.dumps(data))
  json_print(result)

And gives this:

{
    "content_view_id": 4, 
    "environment_id": 2, 
    "included": {
        "ids": [
            "2"
        ]
    }, 
    "organization_id": 3
}
{
    "displayMessage": "Action unauthorized to be performed on selected
systems.", 
    "errors": [
        "Action unauthorized to be performed on selected systems."
    ]
}


I know my account has permissions to set the cv & env of a single host.  Is
there something relating to bulk actions my account might not be enabled
for?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards,
David

I think most of the discussions have moved to foreman-users+subscribe(a)googlegroups.com

I too would be interested in knowing the answer.  I know the hammer cli using -D (or -d
can't remember) supports showing what the json code would look like. And as you said
documentation is sparse which I think is because it's the 'opensource' version
of Satellite 6 which RedHat would like you to buy.

Hi,

Thanks for that.  I'm looking at the -d option to hammer - I hadn't thought
of using it that way.

I'm actually using Satellite, but their documentation is no better than the
upstream.  However, I seem to have a temporary work around for this problem:

  data = {'id': system_uuid,
          'content_view_id': cv_id,
          'environment_id': lce_id}

  result = json_put('%s/systems/%s' % (katello_url, system_id),
json.dumps(data))

That works, but is only temoprary because the call is deprecated.  I can't
see another way to do it though.

Regards,
David
