Conversion Utility UTM 9 to XG

Question

Does anyone know if Sophos ever released a Conversion Utility for UTM 9 to XG. I was promised this over a year and a half ago and I still don't see it anywhere on this site. I have a very complicated UTM 9 firewall that I don't want to retype from scratch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi  Jae Lupo   
 For context, take a look at  Chris McCormack 's community . 
 The SG To XG Migration Assistant is currently available to Sophos Partners, so you'll have to reach out to your Sophos Partner or find a suitable Sophos Partner near you and if they don't already have access to the Migration Assistant. They can inquire with their Sophos channel manager who can get them access. 
 Sophos Partner Locator:  
 If you can't locate a partner willing to help you, Sophos Professional Services can help you with your migration needs.

Guys I was promised this tool as well 2 years ago when we purchased XG. After a lot of fighting I was finally able to send in my backup config files and get them converted. Now 3 of my firewalls were simple configs and the tool did a good job in moving some of the objects and rules over to XG it was not perfect and it still required me to configure a lot of stuff. My 4th firewall was fairly complicated and the tool just could not convert my config properly. After months of frustration I just typed in in from scratch. In the end I wish I just did that with all of my firewalls and saved me a lot of time and frustration. My point is if you have a complicated setup just type in yourself it it will be much cleaner and you will get rid of a bunch of junk you don't need any longer. If you have a simple setup just type it in it won't take long as there is not much to do.
