[Announcements for BES Administrators]

*Product*: BigFix Compliance

*Title*: Availability of BigFix Compliance Analytics version 2.0 Patch 17

*Published site:* SCM Reporting 169

*Overview:*

HCL BigFix is pleased to announce the release of BigFix Compliance
Analytics version 2.0 Patch 17. This release resolves a data import issue
identified in Patch 16 and includes all previous fixes from Patch 16.
Customers who delayed upgrading due to the known issue can safely update
directly to Patch 17.

This release includes fixes for:



*DA #*

*Title*

KB0130358

The import fails to manage the display_name values

KB0130344

Bigfix Compliance Import Job fails with errors
1. Violation of PRIMARY KEY
2. RuntimeError: Unable to find Subscribed Sites analysis

*Import failure details from Patch 16:*

A change introduced in Patch 16 to how site display name values are
processed during data import caused the import to fail under certain
conditions, resulting in incomplete or stale compliance reports. The issue
was identified shortly after release and a hotfix was provided to affected
customers while a permanent fix was developed. Patch 17 reverts the change
and restores stable import processing. We have implemented additional
safeguards to prevent similar issues in future releases.

*Recommendation for current deployments:*

●       If you are on Patch 16 and experiencing import issues: upgrade to
Patch 17 and  remediate import using option in Server settings.

●       If you are on Patch 16 and not experiencing import issues: upgrade
to Patch 17 as a preventive measure.

●       If you are on Patch 15 or earlier: upgrade directly to Patch 17.
This release includes all Patch 16 content plus the import fix. There is no
need to install Patch 16 first.

*Actions to take:*

1.      Upgrade BigFix Compliance Analytics to version 2.0.17 to take
advantage of the fixes.

*For first-time installations:*

1.      In the License Overview Dashboard in the BigFix console (BigFix
Management domain), enable the SCM Reporting site.

2.      In the Security Configuration domain in the console, open the
Configuration Management navigation tree.

3.      Select the Fixlet named BigFix Compliance Server 2.0 - First-time
Install Fixlet under the BigFix Compliance Install/Upgrade menu tree node.

4.      Follow the Fixlet instructions and take the associated action to
install your BigFix Compliance deployment.

For upgrade installations: Refer to the below upgrade steps for the BigFix
Compliance version that you are using.

*IMPORTANT: Before you start any upgrade process, perform a server and
database backup.*

A. For BigFix Compliance Analytics versions 1.9.x, 1.10.x and 2.0.x:

1.      Make sure that you complete the server and database backup.

2.      It is recommended to stop the BigFix Compliance Server or at least
disable scheduled Data Imports to ensure that Data Import is not in
progress during the upgrade.

3.      In the Security Configuration domain in the console, open the
Configuration Management navigation tree.

4.      Under the BigFix Compliance Install/Upgrade menu tree item, select
the BigFix Compliance Server 2.0 - Upgrade Fixlet which automatically
installs and upgrades to the new version.

5.      Follow the Fixlet instructions and take the associated action to
upgrade your BigFix Compliance deployment.

6.      Update the data schema. To do this, log in to the BigFix Compliance
web interface from the host server and proceed with configuration.
Upgrading the data scheme is expected and it will take some time to
complete. NOTE: Automatic upgrade installation only affects installations
running under the LocalSystem account. Follow the Fixlet instructions to
install the update manually if this fix cannot be applied.

B. For BigFix Compliance Analytics versions before 1.9:

1.      Manually upgrade to version 1.10.1.48. The 1.10.1.48 installer can
be found here
