BigIP VE v13.1.x in VMware - iApp menu item is missing

Hi,

 

got a strange issue with the Virtual Edition of BigIP running in a VMware Workstation.

 

Somehow the iApp menu item is not shown in the Configuration Utility (Web GUI) in all 13.1.x versions I've tried so far.

 

• Version 12.1.x - iApp menu is there.
• Upgrade from 12.1.x to 13.1.0.7 - iApp menu item is gone
• Upgrade from 13.1.0.7 to 13.1.0.8 - iApp menu item is gone
• Fresh Install of 13.1.0.7 - iApp menu item is gone
• Upgrade from 13.1.0.7 to 13.1.1 - iApp menu item is gone
• Fresh Install of 13.1.1 - iApp menu item is gone

Couldn't find any change of behavior regarding iApps in the Release Notes.

 

The iApp functionality is still there. In an older article here on DevCentral I've found the direct links for iApps and the templates. And those are still working:

 

• https:///tmui/Control/jspmap/tmui/application/list.jsp
• https:///tmui/Control/jspmap/tmui/application_template/list.jsp

That's my workaround at the moment.

 

What am I missing? (apart from the iApp menu item)

 

Thank you very much and kind regards,

 

Gunnar
