Importing SCF file worked, but APM login customization not there

I'm building a Dev environment, with the SCF file, from my production environment;

 

I created the SCF file, changed all my IPs, and imported the file to my Dev environment. All is working great, except that all my APM login page customization (logos, fonts, RDP icons, etc) are not loading.

 

The customization_group_d folder is in Dev.

 

If I compare the SFC file that was used to merge and the current SFC file in DEV, the code for all the apm policy customization-group have changed:

 

Example:

 

Dev:

apm policy customization-group /Common/apm_rha_z1v_citrix_resource_remote_desktop_customization {

  cache-path /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/customization_group_d/:Common:apm_rha_z1v_citrix_resource_remote_desktop_customization_1038256_1

  revision 1

  type resource-remote-desktop

 

Prod:

apm policy customization-group /Common/apm_rha_z1v_citrix_resource_remote_desktop_customization {

  cache-path /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/customization_group_d/:Common:apm_rha_z1v_citrix_resource_remote_desktop_customization_56647_4

  revision 4

  type resource-remote-desktop

 

 

Any idea why the information was imported but with a different # at the end and a different revision?

 

Thanks.

    Did you transfer and import the tar file with the SCF?

    K13408: Overview of single configuration files (11.x - 14.x)

    -----

    Data not contained in the SCF 

    The data files in the BIG-IP filestore in the /config/filestore directory (for example, the SSL certificate/key files and external monitor files) are not saved in the SCF . Files in filestore that are referenced by the SCF configuration are automatically saved into a separate TAR file when a copy of the SCF is saved.

    By default, the name of the TAR file has the same name as the SCF file and have .tar as the file extension. For example, when you save an SCF using the name myscf1, the default created TAR file is named myscf1.tar, and both files saved in the /var/local/scf directory as follows:

    -----

    Are the relevant files in the filestore?

    /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/customization_group_d/:Common:apm_rha_z1v_citrix_resource_remote_desktop_customization_1038256_1

    When the SCF file is imported, the various config elements are re-created on the target device.

    As they are created in the new MCPD database, the element ID gets recreated. In the case of filestore objects, this changes the cache path and revision number. If you install the tar file with the SCF, these elements should be aligned.

    Yes, the TAR file was in the SCF folder when I merged:

    load /sys config merge file prod

     

    and yes, the files are in the filestore.

     

    Thanks.
