SMTP

For the SMTP collection resource, you can use an object value to return another value for the same object.

Getting an {smtpId}

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus assigns an ID {smtpId} to each SMTP server.

Method and URI: To convert the value of an object for an SMTP server, use a GET method with a URI:

GET     https://{hostname|IP}/api/smtp

Path: Response body (JSON) > smtps > hostAddress & id

Example: Assume that you added an SMTP server (IPv4 address 10.0.0.121) to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to return its {smtpId} value, 1001:

object_name = "10.0.0.121"

_response = requests.get('https://' + spp_ipv4 + '/api/smtp',
    headers=..., verify=...)

_response_json = json.loads(_response.text)    # Convert to JSON

object_json = _response_json['smtps']

for keys in object_json:
    if keys['hostAddress'] == object_name:
        object_id = keys['id']

print(object_id)
1001
