FAST Exchange 2019 Template Fails for Shared tenant

[totalogic]

Using the latest version of FAST templates (3.43.0) and AS3 (1.24.0) the deployment fails for irule not having HTTP or FASTHTTP profile. On Vipreon hardware using LTM 16.x

Using the template: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-appsvcs-templates/blob/master/templates/bigip-fast-templates/microsoft_exchange.yaml As customer has only the common tenant the documentation suggests I use "Shared" as the tenant

Error: HTTP_REQUEST event in rule {iRule} requires an associated HTTP FASTHTTP profile on the virtual server

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've created a bug ticket for this, internal ID EC-149, for engineering to look into.

Applications are never deployed to the Common partition. You must create at least one new tenant for your applications to be deployed to.

Can you point me to where our documentation says to use Shared or Common?

[totalogic]

That is the point, my customer has deeply used the Common Shared partition and does not want to use another tenant as it would require a lot of rework. Thus the bug, I need a way to do this in Common. To say Applications are never is based on best practice however the real world has people doing it all the time.

In order for us to understand your situation better, can you email me, s.karim@f5.com, more details about the situation? Once I have that I'll bring this issue forward to the engineering team.

Hello @totalogic, is the documentation telling you to create objects in /Common/Shared and then reference these existing objects in your deployment? Please share where and what exactly it is you are reading.

Also, the error indicates that there is no HTTP profile on the Virtual Server, but the Exchange Application always creates an HTTP profile in the new Tenant and assigns it to every Virtual Server that uses an iRule. Can you please copy the rendered template that will not deploy because of this error, but clicking "Debug View" at the bottom of the template in the FAST GUI's Exchange template deployment form, and then click "Rendered"?

[joelkeener]

Hello Again @totalogic, We assume that you are working on a custom template based on the supported Exchange template, and neglected to include an http proflie. You can create one in the application or use one that already exists in /Common.

If this assumption is incorrect, please provide the template you are using, the rendered template with the the user input you are deploying and the exact message in the documentation you are asking about, with either a link or a screenshot.

Hello All, I have the same issue - NOT using /common partition. Templates version 3.39.0 AS3 1.20.0

Error: 01071912:3: HTTP_REQUEST event in rule (/VBGOV/Exch_owa_prod/Exch_owa_prod_combined_pool_irule3) requires an associated HTTP or FASTHTTP profile on the virtual-server (/VBGOV/Exch_owa_prod/Exch_owa_prod_vs).
