MGMT API with Ansible Checkpoint Modules

[Simon_Macpherso]

Hi,

I'm running a bash script using the cp_mgmt_run_script Ansible module for checkpoint against one remote gateway.

The script runs successfully on the gateway.

Within Smart Console however, the task populates in the recent task list with 40% progress but not not complete. It does not progress and must be manually cleared. 

Is anyone aware of a bug that could be causing this? 

Is there a workaround that could be written in to the playbook or bash script? 

If I run the script vi a POST api call using the run-script module using either mgmt_cli or web services, the task progresses to completion as expected. This indicate Ansible is the cause. 

I will open a TAC case if no one is aware.

Versions:

Mgmt version:  R80.30 GA 210

Gateway version:   R80.30 GA 196

Regards,

Simon

Most likely this will require a TAC case.
What's the script?

Hey

I've tried a couple of bash scripts so it seems it could be a problem with the cp_mgmt_run_script module. 

I've opened a TAC case.

The following error is returned in the cli when the playbook is run

TASK [run-script] ****************************************************************************************************************

fatal: [10.1.2.51]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"}, "changed": false, "msg": {" code": "generic_err_invalid_parameter", "message": "ERROR: Failed to handle asynchronous tasks as synchronous, tasks result is und efined.\nInvalid parameter for [task-id].

An mentioned, the task actually runs successfully against the target gateway.
