Confd-basic-7.6 dowdload error with nc:operation and import different yang with attribute different value

Hi,

Confd-basic-7.6 is used and the yang files is compiled with commnad “confdc -c yangFiles”
When download xml to Confd wih netconf-console, there are two kind of errors. But the xml is Ok when download to real Device with Openconfig interface.

The xml mainly use modules of two yang file wich are openconfig-network-instance.yang and openconfig-bgp.yang.
In openconfig-network-instance.yang
import openconfig-bgp { prefix “oc-bgp”; }

from openconfig-bgp.yang

The related yang definition is:

Seems like nc namespace is not defined.

Can you try?:

<router-id xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" nc:operation="remove"></router-id>

router-id element in your XML looks strange:

\<router-id nc:operation="remove"\>\</router-id\>

Is there any reason for it?

<router-id xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" nc:operation="remove"></router-id>

Upper xml is OK and the strange xml is a writing mistake. Thanks.

Do you have any suggestions about error 1?

Thanky you very much.

For error 1, I do not have suggestion. Maybe you can get more description in the devel.log or in the netconf.trace (must be enabled in the conf.conf - `/confdConfig/logs/netconfTraceLog``).

netconfTraceLog records the same input text and it’s rerurn. It seems has no value to solve the problem.
Thanks anyway.
