Hi Team,

Need to migrate R80.40 SMS to R81.20 SMS without effecting existing object database and policy on R81.20SMS.

we have R80.40 SMS with 8000 objects and we are also using R81.20 in our different DC. We want to import all the objects from R80.40 SMS to R81.20 SMS without effecting the existing objects and policies.

is there any way to do that ?

Last time I did it was back in 2022 and it worked, but not sure if process would be same for say R81.20

Best,
