CirrusNeed to change Partition Traffic Group
Hi jomedusa ,
you can modify/change iAPP Configurations by two ways :
1. (Recommended) way :
• Log in to the Configuration utility.
• Navigate to iApps > Application Services.
• Click the Name of iApp.
• Click the Reconfigure tab.
• Edit any iApp template fields as needed.
• Click Finished.
• The configuration modifications and are ready for use with the application.
2. Modify configuration objects directly :
• Go to iApps > <Application Services > <Application name> > Properties > Advanced.
• Clear the Strict Updates checkbox.
• Select Update.
• Make the changes you want to the configuration object.
• Re-enable strictness by selecting the Strict Updates checkbox again.
NOTE :
It is advised to make changes to an iApp from the template and avoid making changes directly to the objects after disabling strict updates.
If you disable Strict Updates and make customizations or modifications to the BIG-IP Configuration, you will lose these changes when redeploying or rerunning the iApp.

I hope you find my comment insightful ! 🙂
jomedusaThanks for the reply, I have updated one of the iAPPs using the option 1 without issue but didn't know if updating the partiton config would update all iAPPs accordingly. I think that the partition config needs to be changed going forward for any new iApps.
Doing option 1 will entail updating over 80 applications which I am ok with doing but if it will do it from the partition and solve the issue with new iApps would that not be the best course of action?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi jomedusa ,
So u want to modify partition itself to make the changes take effect onetime in all Iapps.
Take In your consideration you need to disable strict updates check box on each iapp , I think if you did that without clearing strict updates in each iApp it will fail.
Also your modification will be ignored when re-deploying the iAPP again.
So that you may have to go with the first method , of charging configuration from iAPP.
I see it beneficial to use the first method as I think u will go to disable strict updates in each iAAP attached with this partition. So I see it's a hardwork too. So it's very good to go through with modifying iAAP itself by first method.
