Q.
When using FILTCFG, all my edits are lost after making changes to filtering in BorderManager 3.7 or 3.8. Why?
A.
There is an NDS issue related to the packet filtering objects stored in the NBMRuleContainer object. You will also see a -6001 error on the Logger screen (NW 6.x) or console (NW 5.1) every time you try to edit a problem filter exception in FILTCFG. TID 10071884 gives one possible answer, but usually the problem is not schema related. To fix the problem, start with a clean copy of FILTERS.CFG. Using ConsoleOne or NWADMIN, delete all of the objects inside the NBMRuleContainer object. Then perform a FILTSRV MIGRATE operation to migrate the filters back into NDS from FILTERS.CFG. Be sure to have more than one good copy of FILTERS.CFG when you do this.
