Overview

bisos.tocsModules provides general facilities for creation of arget Oriented Command-Services (tocs) Modules.

In this model Targets are collections of accessible Managed Objects (MOs). Target-Modules are Python modules which are aware of the Target’s set of MOs

bisos.tocsModules is a python package that uses the PyCS-Framework.

The model and terminology of Modules, Targets and Managed Objects

The model of terminology of TocsModules is precise and well defined.

Here is a summary of the key concepts and where appropriate their origins:

• System: as defined in ISO-7498 (X.200) [[file:./py3/panels/bisos.tocsModules/model/X.200.pdf
• Managed Object: as defined in X.700 ./py3/panels/bisos.tocsModules/model/X.700.pdf
• Managed Object Parameter: as defined in X.720 ./py3/panels/bisos.tocsModules/model/X.720.pdf
• Target: An entity within a system containing one or more Managed Objects.
• Cluster: A system containing one or more Targets
• Pack: A named list of Clusters
• Target-Module: A python module capable of processing specific type of targets. Modules can be of different types such as those enumerated below.
• BISOS-CS-Module: A Native CS module that is aware of targets.
• Uploadable-Modules: Modules that can be uploaded into the PyCS targets environment. This is accomplished through the bisos.uploadAsCs package.
• Run Disposition. Based on a the CS Parameter –runDisposition, the list of Packs/Clusters/Targets can be invoked sequentially or in parallel

Part of BISOS — ByStar Internet Services Operating System

Layered on top of Debian, BISOS: (By* Internet Services Operating System) is a unified and universal framework for developing both internet services and software-service continuums that use internet services. See Bootstrapping ByStar, BISOS and Blee for information about getting started with BISOS.
BISOS is a foundation for The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem which is described as a cure for losses of autonomy and privacy in a book titled: Nature of Polyexistentials. bisos.tocsModules is part of BISOS.

Target Awareness of Target-Modules

bisos.tocsModules provides various facilities to Target-Modules.

By importing py3/bisos/tocsModules/facterModule_csu.py the following parameters are defined:

–targetsFile

–targetsNu

–clustersList

–packs

–runDisposition

Installation

The sources for the bisos.tocsModules pip package are maintained at: https://github.com/bisos-pip/tocsModules.

The bisos.tocsModules pip package is available at PYPI as https://pypi.org/project/bisos.tocsModules

You can install bisos.tocsModules with pip or pipx.

Installation With pip

If you need access to bisos.tocsModules as a python module, you can install it with pip:

pip install bisos.tocsModules

Installation With pipx

If you only need access to bisos.tocsModules on command-line, you can install it with pipx:

pipx install bisos.tocsModules

Post Installation Basic Testing

After the installation, run some basic tests:

tocsModules.cs
tocsModules networking.interfaces.lo.bindings

Usage

Local Usage (system command-line)

tocsModules.cs does the equivalent of tocsModules.

bin/tocsModules.cs

Documentation and Blee-Panels

bisos.tocsModules is part of ByStar Digital Ecosystem http://www.by-star.net.

This module’s primary documentation is in the form of Blee-Panels. Additional information is also available in: http://www.by-star.net/PLPC/180047

bisos.tocsModules Blee-Panels

bisos.tocsModules Blee-Panles are in ./panels directory. From within Blee and BISOS these panles are accessible under the Blee “Panels” menu.

See ./py3/panels/_nodeBase_/fullUsagePanel-en.org for a starting point.
