Migration dependent features

Overview

Some new features that ForgeRock adds to Identity Cloud require changes to your tenant environments before they can be introduced. In such cases, ForgeRock defines a migration strategy for the feature. Some examples of feature migration strategies are:

Updating the format of your static configuration
Updating the way your automated applications are configured
Restricting the new feature only to tenants built after the feature is introduced
