Description

Creates new rules in batch. Use this API to achieve optimum performance when adding more than one rule.

Add multiple rules to a layer in a specific position, incrementing position by one for each rule.

Errors and warnings are ignored when using this API, operation will apply changes while ignoring errors. It is not possible to publish changes that contain validations errors. You must use the "show-validations" API to see any validation errors and warnings caused by the batch creation. Supported rules types are access-rule, nat-rule, https-rule and threat-exception.

This module is not idempotent.

All operations are performed over Web Services API.
