Unable to locate "BES Asset Discovery.efxm" file

Hello all,

We have a BigFix 9.2.5 installed, and we are planning to upgrade it to version 9.5. Our BigFix server is aiargapped, so my understanding is that we need to run the BESAirgapTool nad BES_Download_Cacher to download the fixlets (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6MCG_9.0.0/com.ibm.tivoli.tem.doc_9.0/Platform/Adm/c_transfering_all_files_from_fix.html).

The issue is that somehow I can’t locate the “BES Asset Discovery.efxm” file, just wondering if anyone cant direct me to the right location please?

Thank you.

If I remember correctly the efxm file is created on the server when you subscribe the site to computers. If the site has been imported correctly you should be able to see it in the license dashboard. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Config/c_airgap_tool_Extr.html

Can you see the site in the license dashboard after importing the airgap response ?

Another option is to use Airgap tool to download files (in addition to contents of sites) in non-extraction usage. In this case you do not need efxm file.

For non extortion usage, please refer to following:

I managed to download the fixlets individually from inspecting the Task “Updated Windows Installation Folders - IBM BigFix version 9.5.13”. All good now.

Thanks for the help.
