Generate API Requests crashes

[Tim_Grossner]

I am trying to set up the first set of changes I am making to do some rule enrichment.

Within my project, I am going to Export, API Output Manager, and clicking "[Step 1] Generate API Requests". 

The status start changing, showing different phases, but after probably 35 seconds, I get kicked out of the web GUI and back to the login page. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround, perhaps a config export to a file or something?

Also, what are the signifigance of the radio buttons for Mega, Atomic, Sub-atomic, and Clean?

Just in case, make sure you are not under version 1.0.100, as we handled some specific XML structures from the PANOS configs in the latest updates.

The current version is 1.0.101.

Also, check if there is a file /tmp/error that could bring us more information about what may have gone wrong.

Is there an Ansible back-end to Expedition? If so, I didn't know that.

we use some extensions who are in beta that try to convert the output xml as ansible playbook and sometimes it produces an error, and can be omited, then we use pan-python to from the output xml generate the set commands.

If you case seems the library has not being installed properly,

try to run this command from the cli

sudo -H pip3 install pandevice
