Using new Rest.Py Config assistance (#47), user can write something like the snippet shown below to save configuration

import json
# import ConfigAssistant
from ixnetwork_restpy import SessionAssistant

# connect to IxNetwork using SessionAssistant
session_assistant = SessionAssistant(IpAddress='127.0.0.1', UserName='admin', Password='admin',
                                     LogLevel=SessionAssistant.LOGLEVEL_INFO, ClearConfig=False)

conf_assist = session_assistant.ConfigAssistant()
config = conf_assist.config

# build the whole configuration over the config object
...

# when done with the configuration save it in a json file
print('saving json')
with open('sample.json', 'w') as outfile:
    json.dump(conf_assist.config_json, outfile)
    

The json file for the configuration will be saved in your local system.

The json file can later be used to load and get configuration as well.

from ixnetwork_restpy import SessionAssistant

# connect to IxNetwork using SessionAssistant
session_assistant = SessionAssistant(IpAddress='127.0.0.1', UserName='admin', Password='admin',
                                     LogLevel=SessionAssistant.LOGLEVEL_INFO, ClearConfig=False)

ixnetwork = session_assistant.Ixnetwork

# read the json file
with open('sample.json') as json_file:
    config_json = json.load(json_file)

# use ixnetwork's ResourceManager to import the json config 
ixnetwork.ResourceManager.ImportConfig(json.dumps(config_json), True)
