Policy Store Object Migration Issue When Importing Agent Settings

In 5.x, the Policy Server incorrectly allowed a Web Agent, which was part of a Web Agent group, to define a realm with the same resource filter as the group. In r6.0 SP6, the Policy Server validates realm/resource filters and does not allow them to be duplicated. Thus, if the 5.x policy store has a Web Agent that is part of a Web Agent group with a duplicate realm/resource filter, the migration fails when you import the 5.x policy store's .smdif file into the r6.0 SP6 policy store using smobjimport.

To resolve this problem before a migration, use the 5.x Policy Server User Interface to make sure that the Web Agent is not part of a Web Agent group with the same realm/resource filter. Then, using the 5.x version of smobjexport, export the policy store into a 5.x .smdif file and import the file into the r6.0 SP6 policy store.
