SOLVED: Cannot see the Query app in WebUI

[TheTick]

I just did the upgrade to 9.5.2 in my test environment as I really wanted to try out the Query tool. The upgrade went successfully but I do not see Query listed in the apps like what is shown in http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTK87_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.webui.doc/WebUI/Admin_Guide/c_apply_webui_permissions.html

Also when I log in to the WebUI, I do not see it there either.

When I go to https://:52315/api/session, I see the following output

    <BESAPI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BESAPI.xsd">

Any thoughts?

Martin,

The Query App will only appear if you are licensed for Lifecycle or Security and Compliance – are you licensed for either of these?

Bill

[TheTick]

Ah that makes sense. I have only enabled Patch and did not add Compliance in my test environment.

Is that noted somewhere and I missed it?

Thanks

Martin

It’s easy to miss and a really important detail! It was in the 9.5.2 announcement:

BigFix 9.5 Patch 2 is now available

This release is primarily intended as the platform support for the BigFix Query functionality. With Lifecycle and/or Compliance Security enabled, analysts and Master Operators can easily gather endpoint information by creating ad-hoc queries and submitting them from either REST API or from the BigFix Query application.

[TheTick]

Ok. I missed it

Thanks

I have 9,.5.2 - I have Compliance and Life cycle - all working fine. I cannot see the Query stuff in the WebUI nor do I see it in the BigFix console:

[MattPeterson]

Do you know if this is included if licensed for Starter Kit for Lifecycle Management?

[AlanM]

It would not be in the console. You would have to open the WebUI through a browser and there is just a button on the top right that says “Query”

[AlanM]

Sorry I re-looked at your image and you are missing the “query” app

This suggests something hasn’t gathered correctly?
