Usage and Config BFI
1

Hi
Can someone pls help me here.
We use to generate a report called Unknown Software report from IBM Tad4d(which is EOS now).do we have a similar report available in Big fix Inventory now? If yes kindly advise how to get it from BFI.
Unknown software report format is something like below headers.

HOSTNAME PACKAGE_NAME PACKAGE_VERSION VENDOR INSTALLATION_PATH Instance

Many Thanks

Take a look at Reports -> Package Data in BFI and see if it has similar information (Note: This report doesn’t have installation_path)

Thanks for your Reply Som!

I don’t see this report under the reports tab, would you mind sharing a screenshot. Also to view this report do we need any additional access level in BFI.

Many Thanks!

Srinivas,
At least “View Raw Data” role is needed to view the Package Data Report.

Hi Som

Sorry for delay in replying, i had some access issue and it’s sorted now.
Yes i have the access and able to extract the package data report however as you mentioned i don’t see “installation path” column.
is there is a way can we incorporate the installation path column in this report? please advise.
If yes how to do it?

Also there is one more column “Instance” not found in package data report, it was there in the unknown software report, not sure what does this column mean.

Many thanks
