Fixed In:

Opened: Nov 15, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

There is an inconsistency in how ASM-config derives the current policy revision, and in how it determines what is the 'latest' revision number for a policy. When upgrading machine the system attempts to restore the 'last active version' of each policy. The system determines the latest version by the highest revision number, which is now wrong. So an older version of the policy is restored.

Impact

The policy revision numbers start again, so the GUI appears to be displaying incorrect information, which can cause confusion.

Conditions

Inactivate policy and activate again.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The system now ensures the correct revision sequence in Policy History, so this issue no longer occurs.
