  • 1.  Can policies be migrated from version 8.3 to 9.2?

    Posted Oct 27, 2017 11:28 AM

    Hi,

     

    We're using GMU to migrate policies from one gateway to another. Currently, we're wondering if we could use this tool to migrate from version 8.3 to 9.2.

     

    Are there any restrictions/considerations to have into account?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    -Jaime

    Hi GMU is version dependent but this would likely work. The key concern is obviously modified assertions like Encrypt/decrypt JSON etc.. If something has dramatically changed between versions, it likely wont map 100 percent. But in theory most items should likely work. Have you attempted it yet? And if so did you have specific problems? Since it is version dependent there may be small caveats, but for a majority of items I expect it would work though not traditionally supported to my knowledge.

    In addition to Charlie's comments, you can likely get this to work some manageMappings commands to handle any import errors with changes to assertions between versions etc (or anything else that may conflict).

     

    If you want to try it out and record errors and/or issues, we could potentially assist.
