irule not working as expected

Question

I have an irule to look for specific attribute in http header , if it matches it need to go to the pool else to the default pool&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; }  {
   pool prod_ro 
  } elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; }  {
    pool copient_prod_ro 
  } elseif { [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] equals "; }  {
    pool prod_ro 
  } else {
    pool prod_pool 
  }
  }
  but when my prod_ro pool is offline , i dont see all the traffic getting routed to prod_pool.&nbsp;

Nothing in the iRule is checking on whether the prod_ro pool has available members. See here for more details on how you might detect this condition.&nbsp;

Hi sandiksk,
try out the below, haven't tested. But you'll get the point on how to fix this....
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch -glob [HTTP::header "SOAPAction"] {
    "http://www.tech.com/CustomerWebsite/Details" -
    "http://www.tech.com/CustomerWebsite/Points" { 
    if { [active_members prod_ro] &gt; 0 } {
    pool prod_ro 
    } else {
    pool prod_pool 
    }
    }
    "http://www.tech.com/CustomerInquiry/Balances" { 
    if { [active_members copient_prod_ro] &gt; 0 } {
    pool copient_prod_ro 
    } else {
    pool prod_pool 
    }
    }
    default { pool prod_pool }
  }
}

thankyou for your response , but with above irule it is throwing exception, with the if statement to check the pool member availability.&nbsp;

Pls share us the error msg. A snapshot if possible. I'll try out this if possible &amp; update you.&nbsp;
