How to make awx take list of variable? - ansible-awx

I am trying to create different users using awx, but whenever I run it I am getting such errors
the value ['user1', 'user2', 'user3'] (type list) in a string field was converted to "['user1', 'user2', 'user3']" (type string). If this does not look like what you expect, quote the entire value to ensure it does not change.
This is how I have added the varibale in awx ui
I have tried passing using json

How to select object attribute in ADF using variable

I'm trying to parametrize a pipeline in Azure Data Factory in order to enable a certain functionality to mulptiple environments. The idea is that the current environment is always available through a global parameter. I'd like to use this parameter to look up an array of environments to process data to. Example:
targetEnvs = [{ "dev": ["dev"], "test": ["dev", "test"], "acc": [], "prod": ["acc", "prod"] }]
Then one should be able to select the targetEnv array with something like targetEnvs[environment] or targetEnvs.environment. Subsequently a ForEach is used to execute some logic on these target environments.
I tried setting this up with targetEnvs as a pipeline parameter (with default value mapping each env directly to targetEnv, as follows: {"dev": ["dev"], "test": ["test"]}) Then I have a Set variable step to take value from the targetEnvs parameter, as follows:.
I'm now looking for a way to use the current environment (stored in a global parameter) instead of hardcoding "dev" in the Set Variable expression, but I'm not sure how to do this.
.
Using this expression won't even start the pipeline.
.
Question: how do I select this attribute of the object? Any other suggestions on how to do tackle this problem are welcome as well!
(Python analogy would be to have a dictionary target_envs and taking a value from it by using the key "current_env": target_envs[current_env].)
When I tried to access the object same as you, the same error occurred. I have taken the parameter targetEnv (given array) and global parameter environment with value as dev.
You can use the following dynamic content to access the key value.
#pipeline().parameters.targetEnv[0][pipeline().globalParameters.environment]

How to extract the value from a json object in Azure Data Factory

I have my ADF pipeline, Where my final output from set variable activity is something like this {name:test, value:1234},
The input coming to this variable is
{
"variableName": "test",
"value": "test:1234"
}
The expression provided in Set variable Item column is #item().ColumnName. And the ColumnName in my JSon file is something like this "ColumnName":"test:1234"
How can I change it so that I get only 1234. I am only interested in the value coming here.
It looks like you need to split the value by colon which you can do using Azure Data Factory (ADF) expressions and functions: the split function, which splits a string into an array and the last function to get the last item from the array. This works quite neatly in this case:
#last(split(variables('varWorking'), ':'))
Sample results:
Change the variable name to suit your case. You can also use string methods like lastIndexOf to locate the colon, and grab the rest of the string from there. A sample expression would be something like this:
#substring(variables('varWorking'),add(indexof(variables('varWorking'), ':'),1),4)
It's a bit more complicated but may work for you, depending on the requirement.
It seems like you are using it inside of an iterator since you got item but however, I tried with a simple json lookup value
#last(split(activity('Lookup').output.value[0].ColumnName,':'))

using get-odbcdsn across all domain computers

So I need to create a report of what odbc-dsns are on computers.
The first hurdle I'm trying to do is get the csv to output correctly on MINE. Then I figure I'll just deploy a runonce group policy with the script set to append.
The problem is that get-odbcdns returns an object. That object has:
Name: the friendly name of the odbc
Attribute : {Description}
I just want to be able to formatlist with the VALUE of the {Description} value inside the Attribute property. I can't figure out how to do that.
Whenever I go | fl name, attribute
it returns 1sl-den-db01 and {description} I would like for it to actually parse out description from Attribute. No idea how. Thoughts?

How to get an option's name in a Rundeck JOB?

I have a JOB rundeck called "TEST"
I have an option called country
this option retreives a list of key, value from a remote URL as :
[
{"name":"FRANCE", "value":"FR"},
{"name":"ITALY", "value":"IT"},
{"name":"ALGERIA", "value":"DZ"}
]
I would like to use both of the name and the value in a job step.
echo ${option.country.name}
echo ${option.country.value}
But this doesn't work and I'm not able to get the name of the parameter
getting the value can be done using ${option.country}
Is there any trick to get the parameter name ???
Just for the record answer: Maybe the best approach is to create some script-step that reads the JSON file and extracts the name, also, you can use the same value name like this example (of course is not applicable for all cases).

Parse setting explicit type using REST

I know you can set a Date field explicitly like so:
"date_brewed":{
"__type":"Date",
"iso":"2009-10-15T00:00:00.000Z"
}
But is there anyway to explicitly set the column type of 'Number' using REST? For instance, I'd like to set the column 'batch_size' to a Number instead of a string but when POST'ing via rest it keeps getting created as a string type column.
Meh, this was more of a Perl issue than a Parse issue.
What I had to do to tell Perl to treat the number like an actual number was to add a zero to the value. :/
