Hi,

I have a task that i want to evaluate system architecture (windows) and download the relevant file for the system

begin prefetch block

if { exist folder “C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)”}

add prefetch item {“name=Lync.tmp sha1:4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3 size:74463555 url=http://:52311/Uploads/4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3/amd64.tmp”}

end prefetch block

i’m used to checking actions in fixlet debugger, but with this i’m getting “command not implemented” messages.

this is the first time i try prefetch block and when i use a simple prefetch it works, why is that?

i followed the action guide closely.

correction the section is:

begin prefetch block

if { exist folder “C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)”}

add prefetch item {“name=Lync.tmp sha1:4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3 size:74463555 url=http://:52311/Uploads/4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3/amd64.tmp”}

endif

end prefetch block

First I presume you are doing this only for a 64 bit OS?

Then doing

if { x64 of operating system }

would work better.

Second where are you failing? The error from the client log would help.

Thanks for the reply Alan, well i’m trying this in fixlet debugger,

i haven’t actually created a task with just the prefetch block and assigned to a client, i will try it on a client with debug logging turned on and update,

thanks for the relevance portion.

I don’t believe the Fixlet Debugger handles the prefetch block well so that may be the issue. I believe there is an enhancement request to make it handle that type of object better.

Hey Alan,

i’ve tried a task and i got this:

begin prefetch block

if { exist folder “C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)”}

add prefetch item {“name=Lync.tmp sha1:4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3 size:74463555 url=http://:52311/Uploads/4f3721ffbd20d8655ff2999b1bdcaff461ed6dd3/amd64.tmp”}

else

Failed

add prefetch item {“name=“Lync.tmp” sha1:204955e85e23a15e17c88216e9b467c5ffa2fcf0 size:71834143 url=:52311/Uploads/204955e85e23a15e17c88216e9b467c5ffa2fcf0/i386.tmp”}

endif

add prefetch item {“name=“RunAsCurrentUser.exe” sha1:9fd47b14aee681a6bad6579d30d6fb3fa4cc3ae3 size:131072 url=http://support.bigfix.com/download/bes/util/RunAsCurrentUser.exe”}

end prefetch block

so i switched the lines:

else

add prefetch item {“name=“Lync.tmp” sha1:204955e85e23a15e17c88216e9b467c5ffa2fcf0 size:71834143 url=http://GERVWBFXP001.corp.zim.com:52311/Uploads/204955e85e23a15e17c88216e9b467c5ffa2fcf0/i386.tmp”}

endif

end prefetch block

on the client it says “relevance substitution error” in both cases (with / without debug logging)
