  • 1.  How to identify disabled bulletins in the Patch Remediation Centre

    Posted Oct 17, 2016 06:15 AM

    Hi,

    I have a couple of software update policies which have a yellow bar at the top and the text "Some of the associated bulletins are disabled." in it.  I'm assuming that the bulletins have been disabled using the right-click menu in the Patch Remediation Centre, but I'm having a hard time identifying them.

    Can anyone help me by telling me how I can identify the disabled bulletins - either in the remediation centre or in a report?  I can't see any visual cues anywhere.

    Best regards.

    Try the following query. You can paste this into SQL or create a SQL report in ITMS.

    select distinct i.name 'Software Update Policy',
    	i2.name 'Software Update Advertisement'
    from Item i
    left join ItemActive ia
    	on ia.Guid = i.Guid
    left join ItemReference ir
    	on ir.ParentItemGuid = i.Guid
    		and ir.Hint = 'swuadvert'
    left join Item i2
    	on i2.Guid = ir.ChildItemGuid
    left join ItemReference ir2
    	on ir2.ParentItemGuid = ir.ChildItemGuid
    		and ir2.Hint = 'swu'
    left join ResourceAssociation ra
    	on ra.ChildResourceGuid = ir2.ChildItemGuid
    		and ra.ResourceAssociationTypeGuid = '644A995E-211A-4D94-AA8A-788413B7BE5D' --Software Component Supersedes Software Component
    left join ItemActive ia2
    	on ia2.Guid = i2.Guid
    where ia.Enabled = 1
    	and ia2.Enabled = 0
    	and ra.ParentResourceGuid is null
    order by 1,
    	2
