Software catalog updates

but the last entry there posted on

states last announced catalog is February 2012.

Now available: Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Software Use Analysis (pka BigFix DSS SAM) Software Catalog February Update.

??? I thought the SUA SW Catalog was updated every 1-1.5 months ??? we are now 2.5 months later than the April release ???

What is the recommended way to track when a new catalog is available?

Would be nice to see this as SUA site content in the TEM console. I know there was talk about that in the forum, but it doesn’t appear to have materialized.

Good morning,

I opened last week an PMR about when a new catalog is released, it was closed with the information that at the end of last week an new catalog should be released.

You’ll see that it is not so

Is there any update on when a new catalog will be out? We are looking at renewal costs for TEM and if this product is going to be treated like the red headed step child, we will just bail on it now.

I don’t understand your question “Is there any update when a new catalog will be out”

We have applied several updates for TEM, and catalog updates for TEM SUA.

That’s great news! We must have missed the notices. Is the notification process still a post to the forums and a email from the mailing list? If not, can you direct us to the right place to sign up for notices and to download the content?
