Hello,

I have a problem with a provision script which calls an EXT script.  
The provision script makes a request via an External script with an IMSI.  
The remote API does not return information directly, but returns a Token.

This Token is subsequently used to retrieve the information necessary for provisioning the device.

However, the provisioning script runs several times (to detect a stable state? cf. [Administration FAQ — GenieACS Documentation 1.2.9 documentation](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/administration-faq.html#duplicate-log-entries-when-using-log-function)) therefore I obtain a new Token each time

How can I make the script only run once?

Thank you in advance for your help

Laurent

very simple: you don’t call the api from the extension. Something as I suggested [here](https://forum.genieacs.com/t/extension-timeout-even-with-callback/2787/2)

Hi,

Thanks for your return.  
The idea is good, but I have to make do with existing infrastructure.

To provide context, the ACS server is completely isolated from the rest of the IS (BDD).  
The data for provisioning is retrieved via a server (Swagger + RabbitMq) which receives the requests, gives a Token, after which we query the same server with the token which finally gives us the response with the parameters useful for provisioning.

One way to accomplish this is to set a vparam for the CPE with that token. Then if there is a token set, you know the process is in motion and use that token to correlate things.

Hello,

I already use a VParm

```auto
let token_sdm_info = declare("VirtualParameters.TokenSdmInfo", {value: now}).value[0];

```

But the problem is that the EXT script is executed 3 times each time, and therefore I generate 3 Tokens (and I only store the last one)  
Slts,

L.F.

In your provision script check for a value in the TokenSdmInfo vparam. If one exists, then don’t run your ext script again.

Good morning,

Indeed, this is the operation I expect.

I notice by doing a ps -edf that the EXT provisioning scripts are present 3 times, is this normal?

```auto
ps -edf | grep cpe-config
genieacs 2536350 2536323 0 02:20 ? 00:00:10 node /opt/genieacs/dist/bin/genieacs-ext cpe-config

Yes. I’m going to presume you either have 3 cores, or have changed the config to allocate 3 workers for the NBI process.

Please note that if you make a change to an ext script you will need to restart the NBI process for changes to take effect.
