Enabling the new discovery capabilities
- Upgrade the BigFix Inventory server to version 9.2.9. For detailed instructions, see: Upgrading to BigFix Inventory 9.2.9.
- Upgrading the server is required due to the following reasons:
- Problems with catalog import that occurred in versions 9.2.6 to 9.2.8. For more information, see the technote.
- Lack of support for the software catalog in the canoncial 3.0 format in versions earlier than 9.2.5.
- Upload the software catalog to BigFix Inventory. To download the catalog, run the Software Catalog Update fixlet. Then, upload it to BigFix Inventory. For detailed instructions, see: Downloading the software catalog.
