Question
is there a workaround
Answer
Yes : this is a possible workaround:
1) change the dependency for ic_discover method by adding also
the signature catalogs
2) copy the catalogs at each GW bundles
3) disable catalog download at each inventory profile
.
| Please follow these steps: 1) First of all, you need to copy the catalog files to each gateway lcf_bundle.41100 directory. For example, I copy catalogWidnows.txt to: C:\CM423\Tivoli\bin\lcf_bundle.41100\invsignature The catalog files are located on your TMR server under $DBDIR/inventory. You could copy all these catalog files to the same lcf_bundle.41100/invsignature directory. This would allow you to set up the dependency for other platforms as well. 2) Then run this command below to add the dependency for w32-ix86. wdepset -e @DependencyMgr:Inventory-Config-depset -a w32-ix86 invsignature/catalogWindows.txt +p %IBASE%/inv/SCAN +a 3) Recycle all gateways to refresh this change. 4) Run "wdepset -v @DependencyMgr:Inventory-Config-depset | more" You should see your entry appended to the end. w32-ix86: lib/w32-ix86/libccms60_lcf.dll,%IBASE%,0 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/wepscan.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/dmiscan.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/msvcrt.dll,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/wcdmi.dll,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/wdmiutil.dll,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/wsusscan.cab,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/bin/wepmcoll.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/libguid.dll,%LIB%,8 lib/w32-ix86/libzlib.dll,%LIB%,8 lib/w32-ix86/biosdump.exe,%BIN%,8 lib/w32-ix86/libtis60.dll,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/lscanner.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/lscanner.cfg,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/shfolder.dll,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/mbsacli.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/qchain.exe,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 lib/w32-ix86/wcmehlpr.exe,%IBASE%/cme,8 lib/w32-ix86/wcmeupld.exe,%IBASE%/cme,8 lib/generic/wcmeupld.dat,%IBASE%/cme,8 lib/w32-ix86/inv_ep.ini,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 bin/w32-ix86/inv/SCAN/york.txt,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 invsignature/catalogWindows.txt,%IBASE%/inv/SCAN,8 5) Now, you need to disable the catalog download option for UNIX in your inventoryconfig profile. wsetinvunixsw -d Y @InventoryConfig:PCSWSCAN-PF 6) Run a quick test by deleting the catalogWindows.txt file on the endpoint under inv/scan dir. Distribute the scan to the endpoint and monitor the depot to ensure no catalog files are sent to the depot. The only disadvantage to this is that you have to ensure the catalog files are updated in the lcf_bundle. But the advantage to this is that the catalog files are not pushing to the endpoint if there is any new changes. To remove the dependency set, issue: wdepset -e @DependencyMgr:Inventory-Config-depset -r w32-ix86 invsignature/catalogWindows.txt |
After that, when the profile is distributed, the tmf gateway
will check if the endpoint already has the same catalog
and if not, it will be downloaded.
