Tmsh: problem moving two files to the Sandbox (from an iApp)

Hello all, While I was developing an iApp, I needed to move two different files from a linux folder (/var/tmp) to the APM's sandbox. This can be done using the TMSH 'modify' command, here an example:...
devops
iApps
TMSH

    I see the issue now. I filed it as a product bug. Here is a workaround that calls a script from within the iapp and uses a time delay to solve the timestamp issue. 

    set fh [open my_script w]
puts $fh "
tmsh modify apm resource sandbox hosted-content { files add {\
   foo1.xml { folder /test local-path /var/tmp/bar1.xml }}}
sleep 1
tmsh modify apm resource sandbox hosted-content { files add {\
   foo2.xml { folder /test local-path /var/tmp/bar2.xml }}}
"
close $fh
exec bash my_script

Hello and thanks a lot for the answer. I am currently using v11.4 too. Using the command line, I can move the files with different calls to the command, but it can't be possible in a single call like:

 

root@(bigip)(cfg-sync Standalone)(ModuleNotLicensed:Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify /apm resource sandbox /Common/hosted-content files add { file1.xml { folder /test/globalconfig local-path /var/tmp/file1.xml } } files add { file1.html { folder /test local-path /var/tmp/file1.html } }

 

The same error occurs (regardless running one or two calls to the command) from an iApp. That is why I have the problem, I need to move the two files using an iApp, and then I always get the error (the same as if you try to move the to files using a single call to the command from the tmsh shell(:

 

01070734:3: Configuration error: DB validation exception, unique constraint violation on table (sandbox_file) object ID (/Common/hosted-content jwtcon.html ). A duplicate value was received for a non-primary key unique index field. DB exception text (Can't save/checkpoint DB object, class:sandbox_file status:13

 

I suspect the same "numerical ID" generated for every file stored in the sandbox is in this case the same (if I am not wrong, this number is generated using a timestamp from 'now'), so both the iApp with two commands or the tmsh shell single command have the same database constraint violation error because of this. Any ideas?
