Xml Api Examples - HP P2000 G3 Cli Reference Manual

The output of show commands is intended for monitoring or obtaining the current configuration. Other
commands provide configuration data and display one or more status objects that specify the status of
command processing. The last status object specifies the overall status of the command; other status
objects indicate intermediate processing status.
The following example shows the XML API status object:
<OBJECT basetype="status" name="status" oid="1">
<PROPERTY name="response-type" type="string" size="12" draw="false"
sort="nosort" display-name="Response Type">Success</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="response-type-numeric" type="uint32" size="12" draw="false"
sort="nosort" display-name="Response Type">0</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="response" type="string" size="180" draw="true" sort="nosort"
display-name="Response">Command completed successfully.</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="return-code" type="sint32" size="15" draw="false"
sort="nosort" display-name="Return Code">0</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="component-id" type="string" size="80" draw="false"
sort="nosort" display-name="Component ID"></PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="time-stamp" type="string" size="25" draw="false"
sort="datetime" display-name="Time">2010-08-10 11:32:29</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="time-stamp-numeric" type="uint32" size="25" draw="false"
sort="datetime" display-name="Time">1281439949</PROPERTY>
</OBJECT>
In a script, each command should check the previous command's status before proceeding. If the value of
the status object's return-code property is 0, the command succeeded; any other value means that
the command failed.

for use with the HTTP interface, and its XML API output.
