Parameters:

obj – Object that represents the task.

Example

path = (
    f"/mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-adccore-allbigipDevices/devices"
    f"?$filter=hostname eq 'LABBIGIP1.lab.local'"
)
device_link = device.link(path)
path = (
    f"/mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-adccore-allbigipDevices/devices"
    f"?$filter=hostname eq 'LABBIGIP2.lab.local'"
)
device_link2 = device.link(path)
data = {
    "name": "BIGREST Add config to device",
    "deviceReferences": [
            {
                "link": device_link
            },
            {
                "link": device_link2
            }
    ],
    "disableUnusedObjectRemoval": True
}
task = device.task_start(
    "/mgmt/cm/adc-core/tasks/deploy-configuration", data)

if device.task_completed(task):
    print("Task test completed.")

Explanation

Indicates if the task has finished, returning true or false.

If you don’t want to wait for the task to complete, you can run more Python code, and check the task later.
