I hope that patch management is automation from advance system backup to Post-backup.
So I want to confirm the status of action on own pc
After confirmed the action is “SUCCESS”, I want to cooperate with other system.

But I don’t know the way. Please teach me.
I know that the status is display on console.

One way to do this is to enable the Self Service Application and leverage the ‘Display Administrative Actions’ to provide this sort of context in the History tab of the Self Service App. For more information, please see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS63NW_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.lifecycle.doc/Lifecycle/Self_Service_Application/SSA_Install_Config_Guide/c_installation.html

I suppose the question is to know the status programmatically and I think the simplest choice is to include some action in your Fixlet or Task to indicate completion of action, such as set flags to registry or file. In case of Baseline, you can add such task at end.

Alternative would be to parse BigFix Agent log file, but it will take some effort to get information you want, and I don’t think there are any guarantee log format remains same for future.

As far as I know BigFix Agent does not provide information for other programs on that computer to see the completion of actions.
