F5 tmsh error : The application service () has strict updates enabled, the object () must be updated using an application management interface.

 

F5 tmos/tmsh cheat sheet

These one lines will be really helpful in order to create your automated solution of managing operation activities in F5 devices.

Please note, I have used below one liner on F5 version 13.

You might have received this error while modifying any of the LTM value using tmsh.

Reason for error : Your iApps has strict updates enabled, till the time it's enabled it will not allow to do modify any changes.

For instance, if you want to change the Ciphers used in LTM ssl client profile, within iApps Strict Updates must be in disabled state.

Where Strict Update section is found :

    Go to iApps --> Select your iApp --> Properties --> Advances --> Strict Updates

How can we enable/disable Strict Updates for an individual iApp.

1. From UI as describes above     Go to iApps --> Select your iApp --> Properties --> Advances --> Strict Updates --> Enable/Disable
2. From TMSH Shell:

Syntax

 #  tmsh modify sys app service myexampleiApp.app/myexampleiApp-onlyhttps strict-updates  disabled
