Symptoms

iControl produces an HTTP 404 - Not Found error message while creating the BIG-IP DNS topology record successfully.

Impact

Resulting code/information is not compatible with actual result. For a post request, the create command and the list command are formed and executed, and the name in the curl request and the name in the list response are compared to verify whether or not it is the actual object. When a create command is executed with properties that are not fullPath (e.g., in iControl), it still creates the object with fullPath. So list returns the name with fullPath and compares it with the name that does not contain the fullPath, and the comparison fails because the names do not match.

Conditions

Creating GTM topology record without using full path via iControl.

Workaround

Use the full path when creating BIG-IP DNS topology records using iControl.

Fix Information

The system now compares both names, ignoring the partition '/Common' if the exact comparison fails.
