I have a 2 live articles addressing the file export procedure from around April of 2019.  Expedition version 1.1.66.2 shows a new procedure on the Checkpoint R80+ file import page requiring the download, install, and run of a jar file to compile and export files necessary for import into Expedition.  The procedure involves uploading and running a .jar file on the client's Checkpoint mgmt server.  I need documentation to understand and further explain any risks to the management server and would like more depth on the procedure if anyone has run though it.  I would like to do no harm during the process.  Anyone have success stories to share?  ...

Published install instructions for PanHandler are for MAC and Linux systems.  I run Windows.  Here is how I installed PanHandler on my Windows 10 system.   Install Docker for Windows from the Docker Hub -- https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/      I’m at Docker Engine v19.3.5   Once Docker is installed and after your system has rebooted, open Docker from the systray. My Docker settings:  (Sorry, screenshots would not paste)   General  Check Start Docker Desktop when you log in accept defaults Resources accept defaults  2 CPUs; 2 GB Memory; 1 GB Swap; Disk image is 64 GB Command Line enable experimental features Kubernetes is unchanged.    Execute “Apply & Restart” lower right. Make sure Docker is running by checking lower left of window.   Download and install Git Bash.  Git Bash is an application for Microsoft Windows environments which provides an emulation layer for a Git command line experience. It is possible to turn on the Windows Subsystem for linux (WSL) but I used Git Bash.   Use Git Bash (or WSL) to run the PanHandler setup CLI per the setup instructions -- https://panhandler.readthedocs.io/en/master/running.html#quickstart          curl -s -k -L http://bit.ly/2xui5gM | bash  Output from the CLI command should include no errors and should look like this …   $ curl -s -k -L http://bit.ly/2xui5gM | bash ===================================================================================================     Welcome to Panhandler   ===================================================================================================     Checking 6827534e456d (this is your container)     Checking for image updates ...

Anyone else experiencing an issue after exporting, merging and making final corrections to Base Config Output with Generating XML config files?  Progress bar freezes at Generating Profiles.  All other projects show "initializing" in the progress bar.  Thought it might relate to release note MT-1573. If so, is there an ETA on an update with the fix? Expedition VM.
