As part of the activation process, PAN-OS will also automatically migrate any existing URL filtering profiles to use
the PAN-DB categories. This is done with an auto-commit in the background; no device reboot required. As
always, save your configuration before making any changes, and be sure to double check URL filtering profiles
after to verify policy.
