eric_eccli plugin

I assume this code did work at somepoint, have the commands changed prior to IPOS v21?

Will this change still work with older versions?

That I don't know. I have been trying to find a contact at Ericsson that develops the IPOS software, to ask the questions. I know that the 'screen-length 0' and 'screen-width 512' commands are not a options on the IPOS v21 software. So, a new eric_eccli plugin be created to support IPOS >= 21 ?

[kb5879gm]

Ericsson is saying that they are unable to find the “screen-length” and “screen-width” commands on the IPOS R18 software. So, what are our steps for getting the Ansible module updated?

@kb5879gm hello, thanks for the fix! So those obsolete commands are not present in IPOS R18, right?
Is IPOS R18 the oldest device when the commands are not present?

Anyway, is it possible to get a device version within the code? If yes we could add a condition logically saying if version >= IPOS R18: use this code; else: use the old code.

What do you think?

I am good with doing a condition on the version.

Not sure why this pull request is still in Open status. I can confirm that the change is correct since I'm working with Ericsson IPOS currently.....

[Andersson007]

@OpenSourceJimYan thanks! closing

@Andersson007 is it possible to merge this change? Not sure why it didn't get merged.

@OpenSourceJimYan hi, oh, sorry, i misunderstood the conversation, so if it's still relevant:

• There was a talk about the condition, it wasn't done as far as i can see
• There should also be a changelog fragment added

@kb5879gm can you finish this? If not can anyone else finish the PR (feel free to create a replacing PR)?
