Registration of software information
Define the software information. When the information collection source is software which was not manually registered, the software information collected during the discovery of software patch information is automatically registered. In such cases, it is not necessary to register the software information using the Software Information Management Command (swcfmg_software).
When installing this product, the following information can be registered for software whose information collection source is manually registered.
[Registration information]
Software ID
Software name
Version
OS type
Vendor
Register a unique entry of information in the format "Software name + Version + OS type". Software with identical information are recognized as being the same, and cannot be registered in the same system. To register software information, specify the CSV file using the Software Information Management Command (swcfmg_software). For details on the file format, refer to "6.3.1 Software Information File".
Update of software information
Update the registered software information.
To update software information, specify the CSV file using the Software Information Management Command (swcfmg_software). For details on the file format, refer to "6.3.1 Software Information File".
The "software ID" automatically assigned during registration is used as the key when updating.
When updating information, we recommend revising files generated using the software information output feature, and deleting software information that does not require update. Use these files as the input for the command to update information.
Note that an update error will occur if no software ID, or an incorrect one, is entered.
Deletion of software information
Delete the registered software information.
Specify the software ID of the software information to be deleted.
Check the software ID using the software information output function.
Note that software information cannot be deleted for software that has registered installed software information. Ensure that installed software information has been deleted before deleting the software information that is not required.
Output of software information
Output the registered software information as a software information CSV file.
The output destination is the standard output of the command or the specified file.
