What would be the string returned from platform.system() for a Big-IP OS?


What would be the string returned from platform.system() for a Big-IP OS?



brand new to python here so bear with me please. I am creating a script that has to perform backups for various devices. I have the following code:


def getOS():
if platform.system().upper() == 'JUNOS' :
os = "junos"
elif platform.system().upper() == "WIN32"
os = "windows"
elif platform.system().upper() == "DARWIN"
os = "mac"
return os



How can I test for Big-IP? Additionally is there a list somewhere of the potential results for platform.system()?



I'm aware of the similar post here and here, however I'm looking for specifically Big-IP

platform.system() returns the uname system call. There is no DEFINITE return, it 100% relies on the OS.


platform.system()


uname



Here is some more info on uname



Your best course of action would probably be running platform.system() on a Big-IP OS.


platform.system()





I do not currently have access to one, I am hoping someone else has done this previously and knows the result @ltd9938

To see the TMOS version, you would run tmsh show sys software.


root@(ltm3)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# show sys software

--------------------------------------------------
Sys::Software Status
Volume Product Version Build Active Status
--------------------------------------------------
HD1.1 BIG-IP 13.1.0.5 0.0.5 yes complete
HD1.2 BIG-IP 12.1.3.3 0.0.1 no complete
HD1.3 none none none no complete

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false. I added itms-apps to my plist: LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and put this in my app delegate: func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { return true } func moreTapped() { let url = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.com/developer/quantum-productions/id979315877") if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL, options: [:], completionHandler: {(success: Bool) in }) } else { UIApplication.shared.openURL(url! as URL) } } Are you testing on a real device? – rmaddy Jun 21 at 23:57 I try on a device, get "Cannot Connect to App Store".

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
