Software Distribution packages name copy

Usage and Config
1

Hello All,

I want to fetch the details in Excel of software packages under Manage Software Distribution. How can I achieve that as copy option is not enabled and I am a Master Operator.

Thanks in advance.

Currently there is no built-in option in the BigFix Console to directly export or copy only the Software Distribution package names in a clean format.

As a simple workaround:

  • You can select all rows on the page,

  • Press Ctrl + C,

  • Paste the content into Excel,

  • Then remove the header/footer rows and any extra columns/rows as needed.

This works well for quick, one-time extraction.

Hello adityaporwal

You can run in the Presentation Debugger (from the Debug menu in the BigFix Console) the following relevance:
unique values of (private flag of it as string & "~~~" & value of it) of variables whose (name of it starts with "SWD_Package_" AND name of it does not end with "-SavedPaths") of bes wizards

It returns the datastore content of each SWD Package variable along with a prefix saying if the variable is Private/Shared.

All the Packages are available in a single run of the relevance but you need to parse the results then.

Regards,

Mariano from the SWD Support Team
