Lists are a key component in the Automation Change Manager (ACM) feature Anchorbookmark587bookmark587 setfeature set. The Lists page (Config Management  –> Job Management –> Lists) allows the creation, editing, importing and exporting of lists to provide external lists of data to Perl/Python script variables, CCS script variables, and configuration template variables. 

Lists are handy for dynamically looking up values to variables in Perl/Python and CCS scripts. CCS and Perl/Python can refer to/ look up values from lists during script execution. The lookup call enables a simple pass/fail test to detect the presence or absence of a value in a list. The call accepts the parameter list name, key column, key value, value column and a default. All values may be static or variable-based.

Lists are named CSV files imported into NetMRI. The most efficient way to use Lists is through importing of a CSV file. You can add new records to any list or create a new list entirely within NetMRI.) An advantage of using external lists, and of importing lists from .CSV files, is that NetMRI imports the column headers from .CSV files. These column headers then appear in the list table in NetMRI. Users can edit the headers inside the Lists page by right-clicking any column header and choosing Edit Column.

To import a list into the NetMRI Lists page, do the following:

The Job History tab (Config Management –> Job Management –> Job History tab) lists all running jobs, scheduled jobs, and jobs that finish with errors. Information displayed in the table includes job status, start and end times, and run count.
The Job History works with both CCS and Perl/Python scripts and displays information resulting from Automation Change Manager job runs.
Click the hyperlink in the Name column. The Job Viewer window opens for the selected job.
Click the hyperlink in the Script column. A browser pop-up window appears displaying the script text.

...

The Job Details Viewer opens from any hyperlink in the Status column in the Job Viewer. A Connections dropdown appears in the top of the Job Details Viewer. For Perl/Python jobs that open simultaneous connections with multiple devices, each device in the job is listed here. Toggling through the devices shows the corresponding job details for the given device in the Job Details Viewer.
