InvalidOperationException - HELP!

I have a SOAP interface which makes calls to the F5 to get data about stats, pools, members, etc. You ask, why write another web service that talks to the F5. Simply because I have simplified a lot ...

Apparently these calls can be manually initiated by calling "bigpipe config sync show" and "bigpipe config check" (according to the logs). However, if I manually make either of these calls from the command line while my SOAP calls are being made, I cannot get it to fail. Unless they need to be made at just the right time in the cycle and I cannot duplicate.

 

 

I am also assuming these calls get made at timed intervals by the system. If so, these are the ones that appear to affect my SOAP calls. So, a manually initiated config check call does not appear to cause a problem. However, if I am making a SOAP call when the system initiates these calls, then I get an IOE exception on my client.

 

 

[Update]

 

Yes, these management calls do get executed at automatic timed intervals. According to the logs, these calls get made every 30 seconds.

 

 

Doest this make sense at all?
