ZCM2020.3 not showing any Software Installers

jdkoerner

since ZCM2020.3 and upgrading to new patch management format I am not seeing any available Software Installers in my Patches list.  Is there a setting i am missing to have them show up?  I didn't see anything in the interface and the docs.

    That appears to be correct.  The Feed Vendor is deprecating "Software Installers in their new feed".

    www.microfocus.com/.../ZENworksPatchManagementContentReport_AdvancedPatchFeed.pdf

    Support is defined as follows: • Update installers (no base installers; no Feature Updates) • Core OS updates (may include patches, service packs, security updates, quality updates, cumulative updates, and hotfixes) • Stated versions, editions, and architecture only (Note: versions typically reflect the vendor's currently supported versions; patches for versions no longer supported by a vendor may still be available)

    It looks you would need to use the Core ZCM to deploy the Installers.

    I saw that listed under Operating System Support section and not under Windows Application Support which led me to think are no base installers or feature updates for Windows 10, etc as before.

     The only other mention of installers I saw was down at the bottom in “Patch Content End-of-Life Policy” which makes it sound like they should be there.

    Application Software Installers Content for application software installers is removed:

    • One year after a vendor reports end-of-life for the application
    • If the application has been superseded for more than two years.

    The Legacy patch feed document basically reads the same way.
