Removing a Protocol from a Service Object?

[Bob_Zimmerman]

I see you can 'set services-tcp uid <UUID> protocol <protocol>' to add a protocol to a service, but is there a way to remove a protocol from a service? In SmartConsole, you set the protocol to -. I tried "None", "none", and a dash with no luck:

[Expert@DallasSA]# mgmt_cli -s session.txt -f json show service-tcp name testService
{
  "uid" : "a10d3006-d85c-46de-b585-0112eb64ea5a",

    "name" : "SMC User",
    "domain-type" : "domain"
  },

}
[Expert@DallasSA]# mgmt_cli -s session.txt -f json set service-tcp uid a10d3006-d85c-46de-b585-0112eb64ea5a protocol "None"

Guessing that may not be something fully set table via the API.
@Omer_Kleinstern what say you?

[Bob_Zimmerman]

Just checked 'show generic-object', and it shows the protoType property changing from 'null' to a UUID when I set it. I tried "null", both in quotes and out of quotes, and quotes around an empty string. None of these threw errors, but they also didn't change the object's protocol (as expected).

[PhoneBoy]

Wonder if you can use set generic-object to actually change the setting?
In any case, seems like a bug that this doesn't work correctly.

Hi @Bob_Zimmerman ,

We will add the option to remove a protocol by providing "none" in in the next release and in future HFA of previous versions (PMTR-90609).

Thanks,

Omer

Thank you! I'll monitor and update this thread when the option appears.
