set-macro

set-macro [file]
The "set-macro" command allows to change the value of a group of objects with one single API call
using predefined JSON structures stored on the device. As a parameter, the name of the
file containing the macro definition must be provided in the url (/api/set-macro?file=xyz).

Please note that the macro definition must be stored in /etc/rest-api on the system.
For a set-macro definition, the file must contain a JSON structure with all objects and attributes
that should be changed and of course their new value.

You can set optional variables in the url (/api/set-macro?file=xyz&var_p1=clock).
These variables will be applied in the JSON structure.
  "name": "${p1:meinberg}" -> "name": "clock"
If a variable isn't set, it will take its default-value.
  "name": "${p1:meinberg}" -> "name": "meinberg"

The command will detect, which filetype the file is.
Alternative you can use --json or --list to set the filetype.
--json   - expects a json-file
--list   - expects a file containing list of objects with the value that needs to set

Example: If you create a file /etc/rest-api/changeurl.json

"configuration": {
  "system": {
    "firmware": {
      "autoupdate": {
        "server-url": "http://lbe-server:81/7.05/testing"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can apply it by using the API call /api/set-macro?file=changeurl.json and it will
set the value for /configuration/system/firmware/autoupdate/server-url to "http://lbe-server:81/7.05/testing".
