Whenever I use the F5.BigIP.TMSH Device Type and have CatTools login into a Device I end up with a (Changes Pending) when the device was (In Sync) before. I thought maybe it had something to do with the Activity I wrote but I just have the script login and logout and I get a Changes Pending. This is problematic. Anyone else experience the same problem.
Hi,
Instead of doing script changes you can use variations option of the device.
Please get into variations tab under that get into additional commands tab and in that chek the Disable Paging and Enable Paging options and make both as empty then check the activity
This will prevent issuing those paging commands
Thanks,

The problem is the sub-routine "SendPostEnterEnableModeCommands()" modifies the cli preference pager option and changes it to disabled. The sub-routine "SendSessionTerminationCommands()" then re-enables the pager. Now the F5 sees a change and I have to go in and manually sync the devices. This is very problematic. I have used this to prevent CatTools from changing the cli preference "If Not cl.CurDevType = "F5.BigIP.TMSH" Then Call SendSessionTerminationCommands()" same for "SendPostEnterEnableModeCommands()". CatTools still logins to the TMOS Shell and then I send a quit command to back out of it and run all my commands with tmsh -q in front which allows me to get the same response as the pager disabled option. Now my devices don't show a changes pending anymore.
I completely forgot about the variations tab. I don't ever use it so I forget its there. Thanks.
So I used it and it works great for my custom Report Version Information script but when it comes to backing up the config, it hangs.
It says stepping past ---(less but it never does. I've opened a ticket with Solarwinds because this looks to be a bug.
Will check the issue there through support then
Did you ever get a response from Support?? what was the fix?? i am running into the same issue - it says stepping past ---(less but it never does..
