iApp not working from 11.3 to 11.4 /Common folder

I have an iApp that worked in 11.3 with the following important parts.

 

I get this error. Any thoughts on what may have changed? It seems like I need to be in /Common, but I update my partition at the top.

 

cli admin-partitions { update-partition Common } sys application template /Common/baseiApp { actions { definition { html-help { } implementation { tmsh::include "f5.app_utils"

 

proc tmsh_create { component arguments } { regsub -all {\"} $arguments "\\"" arguments regsub -all {[} $arguments "\[" arguments regsub -all {]} $arguments "\]" arguments tmsh::run_proc f5.app_utils:do_tmsh_create "\"$component\"" "\"$arguments\"" }

 

proc tmsh_modify { component arguments } { regsub -all {\"} $arguments "\\"" arguments regsub -all {[} $arguments "\[" arguments regsub -all {]} $arguments "\]" arguments tmsh::run_proc f5.app_utils:do_tmsh_modify "\"$component\"" "\"$arguments\"" <--- if I comment this out it moves along }

    Hi James- I'd like to help, but I need some more information. Your comment about removing $arguments leads me to believe that the error is occurring during implementation, ie. after you click "Finished" to submit the iApp. I suppose that some command further into your iApp is calling tmsh_modify with arguments that, when handed to mcpd, are throwing an error. You should be able to determine which line is crying foul by looking at the debug output in /var/tmp/scriptd.out. Since the iApp stops execution when the error occurs, the offending command will be the last entry. If the cause is not obvious by then, reply to the post with the tail of scriptd.out and I will try to identify why the offending tmsh command behaves differently in 11.4. -Fred

      Hello Fred,

       

      I am getting similar error while executing a script to create the iApp.

       

      SOAP-ENV:Server Exception caught in Management::urn:iControl:Management/ApplicationService::create() Exception: Common::OperationFailed primary_error_code : 21954567 (0x014F0007) secondary_error_code : 0 error_string : 01071abb:3: Cannot create/modify published policy '/TEST01/test.example.co.nz_443.app/test.example.co.nz_443_policy' directly, try specifying a draft folder like '/TEST01/test.example.co.nz_443.app/Drafts/test.example.co.nz_443_policy'.

       

      I can see the debug log is ending properly and no error over there:

      F5 Version: 12.1.0. Its working at 11.6.1.

       

      Appreciate your advice on this.

       

      Best regards
