Tenant declaration delete /Common/Shared from AS3 Declaration

[BenEkpy]

Environment

• Application Services Version: 3.24
• BIG-IP Version: 15.1

Summary

Application /Common/Shared disappear in AS3 Declaration after declaring a tenant that use object within /Common/Shared

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Declare pool in /Common/Shared

POST /mgmt/shared/appsvcs/declare

{
		"class": "ADC",
		"schemaVersion": "3.24.0",
		"updateMode": "selective",
		"Common": {
			"class": "Tenant",
			"Shared": { 
				"class": "Application",
				"template": "shared",
				"my_pool": {
					"class": "Pool",
					"members": [
						{
							"servicePort": 80,
							"serverAddresses": [
								"10.10.10.10"
							]
						}
					]
				}
			}
		}
}

2. Check the presence of the /Common/Shared application and the pool

GET /mgmt/shared/appsvcs/declare

3. Declare application using pool in /Common/Shared

{
	"class": "ADC",
	"schemaVersion": "3.24.0",
	"updateMode": "selective",
	"my_tenant": {
		"class": "Tenant",
		"my_app": {
			"class": "Application",
			"template": "generic",
			"my_vs": {
				"virtualAddresses": [
					"2.2.2.2"
				],
				"virtualPort": 80,
				"class": "Service_HTTP",
				"pool": {
					"use": "/Common/Shared/my_pool"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

4. Check that the /Common/Shared is now absent

GET /mgmt/shared/appsvcs/declare

5. Check the F5 GUI, the pool is still available ( but not in the AS3 declaration)

6. Retry to declare application using pool in /Common/Shared

{
	"class": "ADC",
	"schemaVersion": "3.24.0",
	"updateMode": "selective",
	"my_tenant": {
		"class": "Tenant",
		"my_app": {
			"class": "Application",
			"template": "generic",
			"my_vs": {
				"virtualAddresses": [
					"2.2.2.2"
				],
				"virtualPort": 80,
				"class": "Service_HTTP",
				"pool": {
					"use": "/Common/Shared/my_pool"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

7. Observe the error

{
  "code": 422,
  "errors": [
    "/my_tenant/my_app/my_vs/pool/use: contains path to non-existent object Common"
  ],
  "declarationFullId": "",
  "message": "declaration is invalid"
}

Expected Behavior

When declaring Tenant, /Common/Shared shouldn't be deleted nor modifier

Confirmed, something is wrong here. I have added AUTOTOOL-2420 to our internal product backlog to resolve this.

Are you seeing an error on step 3? I am seeing an error message with configuring /Common on step 3 that could explain why /Common disappeared.

[BenEkpy]

I don't see error message on step 3.

Here is the output after executing AS3 request :

Thank you for the update. I am going to try this with version 3.24.0 to see if I get the same results.

[dstokesf5]

Confirmed that the behavior is exactly as you described on 3.24.0. It seems like this use case actually got worse in recent versions. We will make sure to add some additional test cases to cover this better as we work on AUTOTOOL-2420.

[walterk82]

I'm looking to have this issue addressed as well. Thank-You.

[dstokesf5]

A developer is currently looking into this. We hope to have it resolved in the 3.29.0 release.

[DumpySquare]

I'm running into this now. subscribing for updates.

[jfreeland]

[dstokesf5]

This issue has been resolved by the 3.29.0 release.
