    Issue:

     

    The SmAgentConfig.removeAgentConfigProperties() method does not remove
    ACO properties that are commented out. The removeAgentConfigProperty
    method has the same problem. So when I go on to the AdminUI and
    comment out an ACO paramter, then I do my migrate using my SDK code,
    it does not remove the non commented out parameter on the
    target. Rather is creates a new parameter with the # symbol and
    retains the one that is not commented out.


    To illustrate that :

     

    Source System

     

           Parameter -

            ValidTargetDomain = .rusniaklab.com

     

     

     

    Modify Source system to be

     

                  #ValidTargetDomain=.rusniaklab.com

     

    Do Migrate

     

    Target System ends up with

     

            ValidTargetDomain=.rusniaklab.com

     

    #ValidTargetDomain=.rusniaklab.com

     

    How can I fix it ?

     

    Environment:

     

    Policy Server 12.52SP1CR01 SDK 12.52SP1CR04

     

    Resolution:

     

    This issue is fixed in SDK 12.52SP1CR08.

     

    New API to give the user of API calls the ability to delete not only
    the ACO parameters but also the "#" commented out ACO parameters.

     

    Previously, the API to delete ACO parameters uses the following
    sequence of API code:

     

          SmAgentConfig agentconfig = new SmAgentConfig();
          SmApiResult result = policyapi.getAgentConfig("test-aco", agentconfig);

     

            if (result.isSuccess())
            {
               agentconfig.removeAgentConfigProperties();
               System.out.println("prop num: "+agentconfig.getPropNum());
               return policyapi.modifyAgentConfig(agentconfig)
            }

     

    The NEW API call will be declared similar to modifyAgentConfig:

     

        public SmApiResult  modifyAgentConfigExt (SmAgentConfig agentConfig)
                                   throws SmApiException;         

     

     The new code would be applied to the following to delete all ACO
      parameters including the commented ones:

     

            SmAgentConfig agentconfig = new SmAgentConfig();
            SmApiResult result = policyapi.getAgentConfig("test-aco", agentconfig);

     

            if (result.isSuccess())
           {
               agentconfig.removeAgentConfigProperties();
               System.out.println("prop num: "+agentconfig.getPropNum());
               return policyapi.modifyAgentConfigExt(agentconfig);
           }
