Bug ID 1094177: Analytics iApp installation fails

Last Modified: Mar 01, 2024

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
15.1.6, 15.1.5.1, 14.1.5

Fixed In:
17.0.0, 16.1.3, 15.1.6.1, 14.1.5.1

Opened: Apr 05, 2022

Severity: 1-Blocking

Symptoms

By default restjavad.disablerpmtasks value is true. This causes iApp RPM installation to be blocked.

Impact

The RPM installation fails with an error "403, Protocol Exception".

Conditions

Analytics iApp RPM installation

Workaround

Change the restjavad.disablerpmtasks sys db variable to false, and then restart restjavad: tmsh modify sys db restjavad.disablerpmtasks value false To restart restjavad on a VIPRION or multi-bladed vCMP guest or multi-bladed F5OS tenant: clsh tmsh restart sys service restjavad To restart restjavad on an appliance or single-slot vCMP guest or F5OS tenant: tmsh restart sys service restjavad NOTE: This will require a cluster sync for any device groups configured for manual config sync. All updated systems will require a restart of restjavad for the change to take affect. After restjavad restarts on all affected devices, you can perform the iApp installation.

Fix Information

By default, the sys db variable restjavad.disablerpmtasks should be "false". When appliance mode is enabled, this DB key is forced to "true".
