Resolution

Three steps

  1. RESTAPI create a bundle

NOTE: If the policy exists in both ends use query parameter &defaultAction=NewOrUpdate when creating the BUNDLE

Example:

https://<gateway>:9443/restman/1.0/bundle?policy=<policy_GUID>&defaultAction=NewOrUpdate

Results of REST API Get Bundle, The red need to be modified/removed before PUT

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<l7:Item xmlns:l7="http://ns.l7tech.com/2010/04/gateway-management">

    <l7:Name>Bundle</l7:Name>

    <l7:Type>BUNDLE</l7:Type>

    <l7:TimeStamp>2021-09-24T12:30:30.303-04:00</l7:TimeStamp>

    <l7:Link rel="self" uri="https://<gateway>:9443/restman/1.0/bundle?policy=<policy_GUID>&amp;defaultAction=NewOrUpdate"/>
