FortiManager Firmware : Upgrading from FortiManager v4.0 MR2 : Step 3: Verify the upgrade : EMS global database

Global Database has been replaced by the Policy & Objects module. An upgrade does not retain header and footer policies, but it does save the global objects. See Step 4: Populate policy and objects with the import wizard below on how to import objects and policies from a managed device/VDOM to recover the policies.
