Client Application’s Role in a JUNOScript Session

To create a session and communicate with the JUNOScript server, a client application performs the following procedures, which are described in the indicated sections:

1. Establishes a connection to the JUNOScript server on the routing platform, as described in Connecting to the JUNOScript Server.
2. Opens a JUNOScript session, as described in Starting the JUNOScript Session.
3. (Optional) Locks the candidate configuration or creates a private copy, as described in Exchanging Information with the JUNOScript Server. Locking the configuration prevents other users or applications from changing it at the same time. Creating a private copy enables the application to make changes without affecting the candidate or active configuration until the copy is committed.
4. Requests operational or configuration information, or changes configuration information, as described in Requesting Information and Changing Configuration Information.
5. (Optional) Verifies the syntactic correctness of a configuration before attempting to commit it, as described in Verifying a Configuration Before Committing It.
6. Commits changes made to the configuration, as described in Committing a Configuration.
7. Unlocks the candidate configuration if it is locked, as described in Unlocking the Candidate Configuration.
8. Ends the JUNOScript session and closes the connection to the routing platform, as described in Ending a JUNOScript Session and Closing the Connection.
