How to Setup the SCM on Databases

Hi,

Sorry I am very new on the IBM Bigfix. We are trying to use the SCM to check our inhouse database compliances (including Oracle, DB2, SQL servers). I figured out there is some CIS checklists for databases but I cannot find them from the external site of the management console.

May I know how can I set the SCM to have the CIS databases checklists for compliance checking?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the community!

Before you will see most sites in the External Site section of the BigFix Console they will first have to be enabled in the License Overview Dashboard:

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6MCG_9.0.0/com.ibm.tem.doc_9.0/Platform/Console/c_license_overview_dashboard.html

Also, if you don’t happen to see the SCM content of interest in the License Overview Dashboard within the Console, you may have to check your license entitlement and allocation:

Thanks Aram, I have enabled the checklist from the console. However there is no fixlets or any other items as all item counts are zero.
In this case how can I customize the compliance checking from the checklist or I have to create them on my own?

Thanks so much!

I’d suggest first checking that your server has properly gathered the site contents (one way to validate is to check the version of the External site within the Console):

This technote provides a different approach as well: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21505823

Once you’ve validated that the server has gathered the site contents, I’d suggest checking that Clients are subscribed to the site:

Note of course that you don’t necessarily have to subscribe all computers.

Does anyone run CIS Checklist or MS SQL Server 2008 R2? We have created a site and copied tasks and fixlets form the original CIS Checklist site and when we try to run the Environment Setup Task we get the error code -65536.

How do we have to deploy the site and task to run the control successfully?

Thanks
