AS3 Deployments (shared objects)

...

...

I found the following at the very bottom of this F5 document:

Object referencing between partitions

Certain BIG-IP® system objects, such as virtual servers, can reference other objects. Examples of objects that a virtual server can reference are pools, profiles, and iRules®. On the BIG-IP system, there are rules for object referencing with respect to the administrative partitions in which those objects reside.

Valid object referencing

The rules for valid object referencing are:

• An object and the object that it references can reside in the same partition.
• An object can reside in a user-created partition, such as partition A, while the object it references resides in partition Common.
• An iRule can reference any object, regardless of the partition in which the referenced object resides. For example, an iRule that resides in partition A can contain a pool statement that specifies a pool residing in partition B. Neither object is required to reside in Common.

What I do not understand is why I am getting this error message when deploying a declaration:

fatal: [f5-r5900-qual-a.its.utexas.edu]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "{'code': 422, 'errors': ['/big_ip_ltm/Shared/testf5_response/profileHTTP/use: contains path to non-existent object Common'], 'declarationFullId': '', 'message': 'declaration is invalid'}"}

where the referenced object:

"profileHTTP": {
    "use": "/Common/Shared/std_http_prof"

is defined in Common:

"Common": {
    "Shared": {
        "class": "Application",
        "std_http_prof": {
            "class": "HTTP_Profile",
            "insertHeader": {
                "name": "nsclientip",
                "value": "[IP::remote_addr]"
            },
            "proxyType": "reverse",
            "unknownMethodAction": "allow",
            "xForwardedFor": true
        },
        "template": "shared"
    },
    "class": "Tenant"
},
"class": "ADC",
"id": "",
"label": "",
"remark": "",
"schemaVersion": "3.37.0",
"updateMode": "selective"
