thankyou for your response , but with above irule it is throwing exception, with the if statement to check the pool member availability.

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; } { pool prod_ro } elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; } { pool prod_ro } elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; } { if { [active_members prod_ro] > 0 } pool prod_ro } else { pool prod_pool }

     

    }

     

    01070151:3: Rule :irule:7: error: [missing a script after "if"][]

     

    with if else if , i cannot run another if condition.

    That's not what I shared in the Irule code above. Where you able to test that.

    Nevertheless, the Irule you share here, has syntax problem, here's the correct version with indentation, so that you can close the loops properly.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/Details" } {
    pool prod_ro
} elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/ValueBalances" } {
    pool prod_ro 
} elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/ValuePoints" } {
    if { [active_members prod_ro] > 0 } {
    pool prod_ro 
    } else {
    pool prod_pool 
    }
}
}

    Or combining both the if & elseif with a OR operator.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/Details") || ([HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/ValueBalances") } {
    pool prod_ro
} elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "http://www.tech.com/ValuePoints" } {
    if { [active_members prod_ro] > 0 } {
    pool prod_ro 
    } else {
    pool prod_pool 
    }
}
}
