Hey guys,
Please correct me if I’m wrong. If I run the BES Download Cacher tool for a particular site, doesn’t it download files for every single fixlet in that particular site? I have customers who only want to download patches that are relevant and this involves manual process. (In airgap network)
In view of this, especially for Patches for Windows site, I would like to see a dashboard or even a web report where I can see the relevant fixlets and whether the files are cached for these fixlets. Or it could be just a list of relevant fixlets whose files are not cached.
I’m guessing it will probably not be a difficult thing to do if I were to write a program. But I’m still wondering where would be the best place to look to get information on what files a fixlet downloads and what is their sha1 value. From there, its a simple matter of just checking a file named that sha1 value exists in the sha1 folder. I’ll update more if I get enough time to work on this, but would still love to see a simple dashboard or web report that does the same.
Thanks
Ashwin
