Remote offer and API

[rkurowski]

I was wondering if there was a why to remotely execute an offer message on a system using the bigfix API. Here is what I would like to do:

Create a baseline with offer message
Then be able to accept it using the API or powershell

Can this be done?

There is no client side API that allows you to programmatically accept an offer. The intention of an offer is to be initiated by the end user, while to force an action to execute remotely you would use a non-offer action. Can you elaborate on why you’re looking for this functionality?

Steve,

Want to create a baseline and then allow the user to use the API to remotely take action on the baseline on the specified systems. Is this possible?

Hi

This has already been discussed multiple times and a few work arounds are provided:

Trigger baseline from client side

Hi, is there any CLI or script using which we can trigger the baseline installation from the client side ? Requirement is to install all baseline for newly built servers [Windows], if yes, then I can have a batch file or powershell script to trigger the baseline installations and reboot servers from client side itself. If other alternate methods are tested, please advice. regards Rahamath

And why don’t you create the action with API instead of accepting a baseline with API?
