Modify multiple ASM policy via cli/API

Fortunately it's not too difficult, after you sift through the mountain of dead end dox.

You can change this up as you'd like but here we go! First I recommend coming up with a friendly naming scheme. Make sure all your XML policies are the same name as your actual policy but add _new to each one i.e. your policy is called MY_POLICY on the ASM so your XML file with your new edits should be called MY_POLICY_new.xml Do this for all policies and then your script life will be a breeze here after.

So with this in mind, here's how I do it:

mkdir /shared/tmp/asm_push

SCP upload your XML policies to /shared/tmp/asm_push

write script to iterate through policy names and create variables

run this command to replace the variables. You're smart enough to figure out what they relate to :)

load /Common/$POLICYVAR overwrite file /shared/tmp/asm_push/$POLICYVAR_new.xml

Enjoy the extra years you'll gain in your wrists usage! I have over 200 ASM policies abroad that consist of 30 VERY custom policies I developed that we've had to manually load for years... UNTIL NOW!
