# After replacing Host and Network objects with an Updatable object in the Access Control rule base, Security Gateway drops the traffic

## Product
**Application Control**  
**Version** R80.40 (EOS), R81 (EOS), R81.10 (EOS)  
**OS** Gaia  
**Last Modified** 2026-01-28

## Symptoms

- Policy installation fails with:

`One of the updatable objects was downloaded incorrectly (see sk178886).`
- After you replace Host and Network objects with an Updatable object in the Access Control rule base, the Security Gateway drops the traffic.
- The output of the "`dynamic_objects -uo_show`" command on the Security Gateway does not show any updatable objects.
- These files (they show the status of Check Point online services) on the Security Gateway have the latest version:

- _$CPDIR/conf/downloads/dl_prof_ONLINE_SERVICES.xml_
  - _$FWDIR/log/updatable_objects/online_services_package_status.elg_
- The Security Gateway passes the traffic to Check Point sites as expected.

## Cause

The Management Server sends an invalid Updatable Object to the Security Gateway.

In the _$CPDIR/local.updatable_obj_ file, the value of the "`:name ()`" parameter in the new Updatable Object is empty.

Example:

**If you experience this issue after the upgrade, do this procedure on the Management Server:**

1. Take the backup of your Management Server database:
   - For information about Gaia Backup and Gaia Snapshot, see the [Gaia Administration Guide](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=documents&product=184) for your version.
   - For information about the "`migrate export`" and "`migrate import`" commands, see the [CLI Reference Guide](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=documents&product=184) for your version.
2. Connect to the command line on the Management Server.
3. Log in to the Expert mode.
4. On a Multi-Domain Security Management Server, go to the context of the applicable Domain on the Management Server:

`mdsenv <IP Address or Name of Domain Management Server>`
5. Remove the current file with Updatable Objects:

`mv -v $MDS_FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uo{,_BKP}`
6. Stop Check Point services:
   - On a Security Management Server:

`cpstop ; cpstart`
   - On a Multi-Domain Security Management Server:

`mdsstop ; mdsstart`
7. Connect with SmartConsole to the Security Management Server / applicable Domain Management Server.
8. Import the required Updatable Object(s) again.
9. Make sure the Management Server created the `$MDS_FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uo` directory again.

Run in the Expert mode:

`ls -l $MDS_FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uo`
