Playing with Uyuni XMLRPC API using Python demo videos!
by Pablo Suárez Hernández 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hi there! this is just a short announcement, to let you know that we have published two small demo/tutorial videos in our Uyuni Youtube channel about "Playing with Uyuni XMLRPC API using Python". The idea of these videos is to give you a quick overview and examples that help you to understand how you can interact with the Uyuni XMLRPC API and how easy is to do it using Python. The videos are around 5 minutes long each so they are easy to consume: - Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gItPMQfQyG0 - Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjCXCvTzx8U I hope these are helpful for you! Cheers, Pablo -- Pablo Suárez Hernández - <psuarezhernandez(a)suse.de> SUSE Manager Development Team SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg

Re: Removing packages not assigned to a channel from the command line

Apologies - I have found a spacecmd command called package_removeorphans Sorry to have posted without looking more carefully! T *Please note I am now working part-time - Tuesdays and Wednesday only* ___________________________________________________________ TIM SHAW - MSD IT Systems & Network Services Medical Sciences Division - University of Oxford email : tim.shaw(a)medsci.ox.ac.uk tel : +44 (0)1865 289480 >>> Tim Shaw <tim.shaw(a)medsci.ox.ac.uk> 10/11/2021 11:59 >>> Hello I recently removed some channels using the GUI in 2021.09 and somehow I managed to fail to delete the associated packages with the result that I now have a large number of packages in the system which belong to no channel. Attempts to process these 23000+ packages through the GUI result in a timeout error message on the web interface and it isn't clear whether any background process has actually started to purge these packages... Is there a command line way to deal with these packages now that they belong to no channel which will tell me what's going on without timing out? I cannot immediately see a spacewalk‑xxxx coammnd or a spacecmd subcommand which looks likely... Many thanks!
