Thanks to All! Yes you're right...I have been using Expect part of Ansible to interact with IRIS on the remote host previously.
However there is a timing problem sometimes and with the Expect module of Ansible you cannot change the delay before sending as far as I can see. Also in my case sometimes some of my IRIS servers ask me to sign in and some use OS authentication and Ansible Expect gets rather difficult when it's conversation changes If anyone is interested when using module you do not need to ssh into the remote host as this is done for you without adding any configuration or code changes On Wed, Dec 7, 2022 at 4:23 AM Todd Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > I was hoping someone with IRIS DB experience in Ansible would answer by > now, because I don't want to mislead you.
