Limitations
The Configuration Import tool do have some limitations:
- If you load a CLI script onto the SBC and if it encounters an error, the line number where the error is reported is not always accurate.
- If you load a CLI script onto the SBC and if it encounters an error, the part of the script up to the error would have been loaded but the part including and after the error would not be loaded. It is sometimes necessary to undo the configuration that has already been loaded, so that it can be reloaded once the error is corrected. There is no easy way to do this: you either need to delete the objects one by one, or restore the SBC configuration from a backup. For this reason, it's strongly recommended that you backup the current configuration before using the Template Import tool.
- The tool has no validation on field input, so, for example, it is possible to use too many characters for an object name, or put in a value that is out of range. These errors would not get caught until the script is loaded onto the SBC.
