Generate reports for 3rd party conversion

Generate reports for 3rd party conversion

Reports can be generated in 3rd party vendor conversions to review the object content. After the conversion is completed, you are able to see the panel of report generation in the conversion summary page. Currently, the feature is supported with vendors below:

Alcatel-Lucent, Check Point, Cisco, Forcepoint, Huawei, Juniper, McAfee, Palo Alto, SonicWall, Sophos, Tipping Point, Vyatta, and WatchGuard.

Generate Options

Description

All in One

"All in One" option would generate two PDF reports, converted and unconverted reports.

Converted Report: lists the objects that are output in the result configuration.

Unconverted Report: lists the objects that are removed by the feature "Discard unreferenced firewall objects", which can be enabled at the start page.

Those objects are removed because they’re not referenced by any policies or NAT rules, and they would not show up in the result configuration.

Split Category

"Split Category" would generate PDF reports individually according to each object category.

Converted Report: splits into multiple reports.

Unconverted Report: remain the same as in "All in One" option.

Click Generate Report, It’ll start to the generate report of the conversion result.

Please note that generate PDF reports may take processing time depending on the number of objects. Generally, it may take a while if it's over a thousand objects in a category.

The report might be lengthy if there is a large amount of objects in the conversion. It would be easier to use the bookmarks in the PDF file to jump between different sections of the report.
