Symptoms

Impact

PEM fails to update the new iRule action.

Conditions

Attaching PEM policy with PEM iRule action that contains a RULE_INIT event.

Workaround

Force mcpd to reload the BIG-IP configuration. To do so, follow the steps in K13030: Forcing the mcpd process to reload the BIG-IP configuration :: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13030.

Fix Information

The system now continues processing PEM iRule actions if RULE_INIT event is present, so this issue no longer occurs.
