Symptoms

Deleting files and file object references in a single transaction can lead to a validation error. This might occur during device group configuration sync, an iApp, a tmsh cli transaction, or an iControl transaction.

Impact

This can cause an invalid validation error, including during a config sync.

Conditions

A file object is deleted in the same transaction that its references are also deleted.

Workaround

In the case of iControl and tmsh, file object references must first be deleted/removed in a separate transaction. In the case of config sync, perform a full sync.

Fix Information

File objects properly resolve references within the transaction, so there are no validation errors when deleting files and file object references in a single transaction.
