    Hi Jan, if you use the "legacy" parameter in your tmsh command, it will use the pre-12.1 syntax. You shouldn't need to specify a drafts folder.

     

    thanks

    Mike, Thanks. I added the legacy keyword, and indeed it works!

     

    if {$Version_v12 == "1"} { set vpol "ltm policy /Infrabel/$::new__env$vpol1 { legacy rules add { $vapp { actions add { $vrule } conditions add { 0 { http-host values { $vapp } } } ordinal 1 } } }" }

     

    tmsh::create $vpol

     

    Thanks a lot, it works fine, but it stays a work-around.

     

    In my opinion, the 12.1 way should be working also:

     

    -create draft from published policy

     

    -modify draft

     

    -publish draft
