Here is an EPG that contains no Physical Domain

Step1: Script will list out all tenants and have the user to choose which one to select

Step2: Script will display all the existing EPG and their associated Application Profile and ask the user which EPG to select

Step3: Script will display all physical domains and ask the user to choose which one to apply

Step4: Script will add the physical domain selected onto the respective EPG

Step4: Script will list all VPCs of the fabric and ask the user to choose which on to apply

Step5: VPC will be attached to the EPG and the script will end
