Cisco ACE to F5 conversion
Hi I'm converting ACE configuration to F5 using the ace2f5-tmsh.pl, after manually correcting most of file simple errors when I try to merger the .conf file, I'm getting "Query Name cannot be an empty string", not sure whats causing this, can some one help.
Thanks

Take a look at any monitors that might have been created during the ACE to F5 conversion, particularly any DB monitors. I can't think of too many other places that a query string might occur.

thanks for quick reply, I looked through all the monitors the ones I thought were odd like 'scripted' I changed them to http but its still giving me the same result, I went one by one to make sure all of them are defined under 'ltm monitor' which they are, but no luck when I try to load the config
if it isn't too large you could try to adding separate sections to determine where it fails.

I do get the following message when I use iRule editor, can you elaborate when you say use different section
Exception caught in LocalLB::urn:iControl:LocalLB/Rule::create() Exception: Common::OperationFailed primary_error_code : 16908375 (0x01020057) secondary_error_code : 0 error_string : 01020057:3: The string with more than 65535 characters cannot be stored in a message.

Sorry for late reply, I got this to work by cutting the configuration to small section, meaning the pearl translator could not handle such a long configuration and had to cut the number of VIP's and Pool smaller, if you do this partially like separating each ACE context it works better.
