Exporting iapp template from BIG-IP 11.2.1 Build 862.0 Hotfix HF2 and importing to BIG-IP 11.2.1 Build 1104.0 Hotfix HF4 fails

Trying to get a copy of iapp template f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09 from Production F5 to Development F5. It fails whether exporting to a file and then importing, or copying and pasting text. These are the errors which all seem to stem from the file f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09.cli_script not being found. I am no longer able to find this template and I don't recall how I installed it originally. Just looking for some clues as to what to try next.

 

line 4 [script "f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09.cli_script" included from "APP_TMPL_/Common/f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09_definition" not found][tmsh::include "f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09.cli_script"]

  • Line 4, 231 and 256: If you can't find the f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09.cli_script then you really have an issue, any idea what was in it? You could always try and create a blank or dummy file with the correct name in the relevant directory perhaps?

     

    Line 230 and 255: It looks like some escaping is required, \r\n or "\r\n" perhaps?

    The template you refer to is still posted on DevCentral along with its associated CLI script. See https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.CodeShare.ashx with the link "New HTTP (alpha)"

      Additionally, I have just posted "HTTP backport." This is the latest HTTP template being prepared for v11.5, modified so that it runs on v11.2.
  • Thanks for all your assistance. I was able to upload the original f5.http_solar_alpha.2012_08_09 template from the devcentral website as Fred suggested. I will try out the HTTP backport template also. Thank you for the tips.
