User management | In test script

It is possible to use the TCP-API directly in the test script for user management:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
'''
If you want the script to login and reserve a license automatically
add a configuration file called credentials.json in the current folder
using the following format:

    {
        "username": "YOUR USERNAME",
        "password": "YOUR PASSWORD"
    }

Alternatively you can set the environment variables OTII_USERNAME and OTII_PASSWORD.

'''
from otii_tcp_client import otii_client

# Connect and login to Otii 3
client = otii_client.OtiiClient()
with client.connect() as otii:
    # INSERT TEST CODE HERE

The client.connect() is used to connect, login and reserve licenses. It works like this:

If the TCP server isn't already logged in, the credentials will be read from a credentials.json file in the current directory, or from the environment variable OTII_USERNAME and OTII_PASSWORD.
If there is no Automation Toolbox license reserved and there is a license available, it will automatically be reserved.
By default the system will only try to reserve an Automation Toolbox license. If you need to reserve another Toolbox as well add all the licenses you need to the licensesparameter:

client.connect(licenses = [ 'Automation', 'Battery' ])

When disconnecting from Otii all licenses that were implicitly reserved will be returned, and if the connect method logged in to the system, it will log out again.
If you want to manually reserve a specific license, you use an empty array for the licenses parameter:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from otii_tcp_client import otii_client

# Connect and login to Otii 3
client = otii_client.OtiiClient()
with client.connect(licenses = []) as otii:
    # List all licenses
    licenses = otii.get_licenses()
    for license in licenses:
        print(f'{license["id"]:4d} {license["type"]:12} {license["reserved_to"]:15} {license["hostname"]}')

    # Reserve a license
    otii.reserve_license(licenses[0])

    # INSERT TEST CODE HERE

    # Return license
    otii.return_license(licenses[0])

User management | Python tool

You can do the user management from the command line using our python module. You install the module with:

python3 -m pip install otii_tcp_client

You can then use the otii_control tool for user management:

python3 -m otii_tcp_client.otii_control --help

usage: otii_control.py [-h] {login,logout,list-licenses,reserve-license,return-license} ...

Otii Control

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

commands:
  {login,logout,list-licenses,reserve-license,return-license}
    login               Log in to Qoitech server
    logout              Log out from Qoitech server
    list-licenses       List all available licenses
    reserve-license     Reserve license
    return-license      Return license

And here is an example bash script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

python3 -m otii_tcp_client.otii_control login --username johndoe --password mypassword
python3 -m otii_tcp_client.otii_control reserve-license --id 1234
./my_test.py
python3 -m otii_tcp_client.otii_control return-license --id 1234
python3 -m otii_tcp_client.otii_control logout
