Convert from FlexConfig to managed feature

This procedure converts deprecated FlexConfig commands to newly supported managed features after a software upgrade.

Each software release adds managed features to the product. These are features you configure directly through policies controlled outside of FlexConfig. This can deprecate FlexConfig commands that you are currently using. Your configurations are not automatically converted. After the upgrade, you cannot assign or create FlexConfig objects using the newly deprecated commands. After upgrading software, examine your FlexConfig policies and objects.

If a feature configured through FlexConfig becomes available as a managed feature, convert the configuration to the managed feature instead of using FlexConfig. In most cases, your existing FlexConfig configurations continue to work after the upgrade, and you can still deploy. However, using deprecated commands may cause deployment issues in certain situations. Configuring a feature in both the GUI and FlexConfig is not supported.

Note

Use the migration tool instead of this procedure if the tool supports the feature configuration you are migrating.

Procedure
