CWCLI and XML issue on RME 4.3

Question

Hi All,
     On a Windows 2008 Server with SP1 running LMS 3.2, I have a script that creates IOS configuration files with the appropriate XML command file for use with the cwcli config import function.  The XML file contains the following tags and values:
<payload>
<command>
   cwcli config import -u admin -p [Base64PWD] -device [DisplayName]
  <arg>
   -f
  </arg>
  <arg-val>
   D:\Program Files\CSCOpx\tftpboot\[DisplayName].cfg.[ID]
  </arg-val>
</command>
</payload>
When I execute the sample script to invoke the Servelet, as provided in the RME users guide, I get the information that the job is running:
<!-- Executing: cwcli config import -u admin -p [Base64PWD] -device [DisplayName] -f D:\PROGRA~2\CSCOpx\temp\argValFile.txt -->
<cwcli> INFO - Devices to be attempted in the job:
[DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - The job 5548 is created
Waiting for the job results ...
<cwcli> - Job Status: Job Succeeded
Successful Devices:
[DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - CM0107 Import the config file to PRIMARY Running Config on device successful CM0091 Check if the device prompt is available.
CM0089 Config archival successful for [DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - The transport mode used is TFTP
SUMMARY
========
        Successful: import
<!-- Processing complete -->
After this is where it gets weird!  On the switch - having previously issued the command "term mon" - I see the following output displayed:
Apr 28 16:56:38: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by cw_2000_hq on vty2 (10.185.64.101)
Apr 28 16:56:46: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from tftp://[CWServer]/20110428165646943-[DeviceIP].cfg by console
and checking the device I see that no changes have taken place.  Inspection of the file that was sent via TFTP to the device indicates why - it contains garbage:
   D:\Program Files\CSCOpx\tftpboot\[DisplayName].cfg.[ID]
end
The file I am specifying between the XML <arg-val> tags contains these commands:
interface FastEthernet0/21
  switchport access vlan 2400
  switchport mode access
  no cdp enable
  spanning-tree portfast
  ip verify source
  shutdown
end
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please..?
Thanks,

Answer 1

The documentation is wrong.  Your payload should include the commands you want to deploy.  So, use:
   cwcli config import -u admin -p [Base64PWD] -device [DisplayName]
   -f
  interface FastEthernet0/21
  switchport access vlan 2400
  switchport mode access
  no cdp enable
  spanning-tree portfast
  ip verify source
  shutdown
end
