The AA uses CLI batch capability in policy definition. To start editing a policy, a begin command must be executed. To finish editing either abort (discard all changes) or commit (accept all changes) needs to be executed. CLI batch state is preserved on an HA activity switch.
To enter the mode to create or edit policies, the begin keyword must be entered at the prompt. Other editing commands include:
The commit command saves changes made to policies during a session. The newly committed policy takes effect immediately for all new flows. Existing flows transition onto the new policy shortly after the commit.
The abort command discards changes that have been made to policies during a session.
To allow flexible order for policy editing, the policy>commit function cross references policy components to verify, among others:
whether all ASO characteristics have a default value and are defined in the app-profile
checks whether limits are adhered
