Use API to add tests of a specific subtype to a container

[Scrapper]

I can list all the exchange related tests using test.list "testname=*", "testtype=wmi", "subtype=exch*", "devicename=*", but I can't use the subtype parameter to add tests to an existing container. Does anyone know of another way to do this?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

The container.update command does not provide test type/sub-type specific filter at this time although it is definitely a suitable candidate for a future enhancement. You may be able to accomplish the same using test name filter:



container.update "serviceName=Your Container", "serviceType=test", "memberListMethod=manual", "memberList=Server*", "testListMethod=manual", "testName=Exch*"

Unfortunately the 36 tests we've discovered so far don't have any commonality in theirname that I can leverage to filter them (none of them actually have "EXCH" in their name).

Hi Dan,

You can specify multiple tests for container.create/update commands separated by comma (,) for the "testName" parameter. Alternatively, you can use the "testType" parameter and specify specific test categories:



container.update "serviceName=Your Container", "serviceType=test", "memberListMethod=manual", "memberList=Server1,Server2", "testListMethod=manual", "testType=wmi/exch_proto_sess,wmi/exch_is_latency,ping/rtt"

I tried the following command:
container.update "servicename=Mobile ActiveSync (iPad) - Synth Tests", "servicetype=test", "memberlistmethod=manual", "memberlist=EXCCAS02.hoc-cdc.ca", "testListMethod=manual", "testName=*", "testtype=wmi/exch_avail_proctime", "memberListAppend=true"

The response was "OK 201 request accepted and processed, ready for next request", but the container didn't update

It seems to work with testtype=wmi, but if I add in the subtype (e.g. "testtype=wmi/exch_avail_proctime") it doesn't seem to work.
