  • 1.  Update available vendors and software without clicking Update in PM console

    Hi

    I'm trying to automate Patch Management using workflow. Is it possible to update list of available vendors and software by calling ie. a stored procedure or is it hardcoded in pm solution?

    I cant see this being initiated via the database, so it is likely to be an action within a DLL file or something similar.  As the ASDK does not have anything for PMS, you can use that.

     

    The good news is that my good friend Ludovic has already provided a toolkit that customers can use:

    Hello claus66,
    Some Patch Management operations are available at the web services page http://localhost/Altiris/PatchManagementCore/PatchWorkflowSvc.asmx.
     
    You may find there method named 'RunWindowsPreImport' - it invokes updating tree of Vendors and Releases.
     
    Thanks,
    Roman
