F5 ASM Template import query

Thanks for your response

My query is if we create Generic application policy and would like to use that policy as template for future deployments then do we need to export the policy in XML or binary format , If we import either xml or binary teimplate on new asm boxes it would not make any difference as we can import policy in both xml and binary format and you pointed no difference between xml and binary format export only difference is that binary is not human readable .

So need to know what F5 recommendation on it use binary export or import , or export and import via using xml format without compact
