[FW-1] AW: [FW-1] fwm confmerge?



Hi Lars,

You can't do that with the objects_5_0.C files on NG, obviously this feature
converted to NG. The only way I found is merging the 4.1 file with the
generated objects.C file of the NG management and then proceed with the
upgrade (4.1 - NG FP1 - NG FP3 or using the CP update script) as suggested
by Check Point. Sometimes this works depending on the number and complexity
of your objects...
However, your old rulebases will partially be lost (either the 4.1 or the NG
ones depending which you want to preserve) because fwm -g *.W doesn't work,
too.

We have had submitted an SR regarding this in December 2001 (!!!!) and
perhaps (due to the RFE as result of this SR) with FP4 or FP5 Check Point
may built in something which re-introduce the old functionality...at least
it's my hope.

Regards. Norbert

Betreff: [FW-1] fwm confmerge?


While trying to merge a standalone firewall's settings into an existing
management server we've encountered some problems. The management server is
FP3 and the existing modules are FP3 too. The standalone firewall is 4.1,
but is going to be upgraded to FP3 (on SecurePlatform) in this process. I
tried to upgrade each of the config files. But "fw confmerge" on NG is not
working as it used to. On 3.0-4.1 it was possible to use "fw confmerge" to
merge two objects.C files (CP solution id=36.518). On NG this
is not possible (objects_5_0.C files on NG). I can only get the objects from
one of the files available to the management server. And if I run a "fwm
checkobj" after trying to merge these files I get a Dr Watson message (The
management server is w2kSP3).

I also ran an upgrade on the old ruleset and tried to merge the upgraded
files into the management, but to no help. Anyone else encountered this?

Lars
