BIGIQ - failed to re-discover ASM police

Hi People,

 

I am having an issue related to BIGIQ version 8.3.0 and BIG-IP 17.1.2.1 Build 0.0.2 Point Release 1 , when I am trying to do a re-discover from the BIGIQ for the ASM, I am getting an error below:

 

 Failed to apply child DMA conflicts; reason: Failed to copy configuration to working-config; reason: Failed copying from source to target: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The template cannot be changed after creation

 

Any help?

 

Thank you

AB

    Hi Antonio_Bosco​ 

    Have you created a profile or policy using a template and then changed the template association after creation? 

    BIG-IQ and BIG-IP do not support changing the template of such objects after they have been created. This is enforced by the system and results in the error you are seeing.

    Are you seeing any errors in logs ? If yes, could you please paste the error from logs ?
