No built-in magic. You could have adapted one of the conversion tools available for other firewall platform switches, but automating the process generally turns out to be a harder problem than most firewall administrators/implementers/architects believe it to be.
  I ended up using a combination of Excel and some find / replace to get the 
job done.  All in all - it was not too bad to make the switch.

Thank you again for your input.

Hello all -

I am in the process of replacing an aging Cisco ASA-5540 with an SRX-650.  The 
ASA has a large number of static NAT translations, as well as many outbound 
source NAT pools.  Does anyone have any suggestions on creating templates for 
at least the statics that I need to recreate on this box?
Since you're manipulating one text-based configuration to resemble a
different vendor's style of text-based configuration, perl might be your
best bet.

If you have scripting allergies, in the past I've leveraged the
high-degree of repetition associated with the command arguments and
created excel templates wherein all you needed to do was plug in the
relevant ip addresses.

I've been doing these for a couple of years and it is a pretty painful process.

Firstly, if you're using address object names on your ASA, you'll need convert 
them back to IP addresses in the configurations - Junos doesn't support Address 
names in NAT configuration.

Secondly, the ASA config:

static (dmz,out) 203.1.1.140 10.10.10.140

(which IMHO is completely ass-backwards) will end up looking like:
no need to associate humility with that particular opinion. it IS
ass-backwards. It makes about as much sense as referring to one of the
subcomponents of your natting scheme as a "nat" or assuming that people
will sound out the component letters of your product name ("P-I-X")
instead of pronouncing it like the word it appears to be ("PIX").

set security nat static rule-set STATIC-OUT from zone out
set security nat static rule-set STATIC-OUT rule Rule1 match 
destination-address 203.1.1.140/32
set security nat static rule-set STATIC-OUT rule Rule1 then static-nat prefix 
172.16.16.140/32

on the SRX.  The SRX also doesn't implicitly enable proxy ARP for the static 
NAT address either, so you'll need something like:

set security nat static proxy-arp interface ge-0/0/0.0 address 203.1.1.140/32

on your "out" zone interface.  You'll then also need security policies defined 
(as you would have ACLs in the ASA).

Your bible will be SRX Series and J Series Network Address Translation:

Good luck!
