Client Compliance API v11

Has anyone successfully interfaced with the Client Compliance API? It seems not a lot has been done with it out in the wild. Yes, I know about the REST API and we are leveraging it to a degree, but I am in an extremely locked-down and sensitive environment and have very limited access to the REST API. I want to leverage “local” client API as described here: https://developer.bigfix.com/other/cc-api/
But, I am having difficulty getting it to work with an external program like Powershell.

I am registering BESClientComplianceMod.dll successfully, but do I really need to create all of the XML files it details just to run simple data gathering? Seems like a lot of overhead to just run some easy relevance.

you could always just run the fixlet debugger or qna.exe locally?

Otherwise, yes, as far as I’ve seen the docs are still correct and you do need to create & pass the XML documents.

(In fact, if you were to use Process Monitor to watch the Fixlet Debugger in action, you’d see that it too creates XML docs to evaluate the relevance and bring back results)

Ah, ok, I figured there may have been more “power” in using the dedicated API instead of the QnA. For simplicity, I’ll just go that route! Thank for the help!
