Need a Vulnerability Severity Report for Patch Management

In the standalone version of patch management (v6.4) there was a dashboard feature on the server home page called Vulnerability Severity. It was a graphic chart that displayed the percentage of un-remediated applicable vulnerabilities vs applicable vulnerabilities grouped by vulnerability severity. This feature is not available in the BusinessObject Enterprise InfoView. It looks like the only way I have of getting this feature is to create a report, but I am not an expert at using InfoView. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on creating such a report?
The only predefined report that even comes close is the Vulnerability Analysis report, but it's hundreds of pages long. I need something on a single page, like a chart, showing the percentages grouped by vulnerability severity (critical, recommended, optional).

Solaris 10 - Tools for Patch Management Automation

Hi,
What are the best tools (both Sun and third party) for patch management automation for a company using Solaris 10 with zones?
What are the pros / cons and cost of these tools? Which ones are the most widely used / the most recommended?
Current objectives for automation are to eliminate the current manual processes and to reduce planned and unplanned downtime.
Thanks!

I don't think you would want to fully automate it. You need to be able to test patches first on a test system to ensure they don't conflict with established applications and cause problems. You wouldn't want to install patches that relate to applications you don't have, or for upgrades you do not have or don't plan on having. That said, the smpatch utility can connect with Sun Solve, find patches, and download them, even install them if desired. You could easily script the process and run via cron to make it automated. I just don't think that's a good idea without having someone make decisions on what SHOULD be patched at any given time. The SMC facility also has a function that mimics smpatch, although you could not automate that. Also, smpatch can only be run from the global zone, and patches will percolate down to non-global zones automatically - smpatch will not run in a non-global zone (unless there's been changes made recently that I'm not aware).
There's also the problem where some patches require reboot while others do not. If the patch kills the system, what mechanism do you have in place for someone to know what patch was applied that killed the system, if the process is automated and a number of patches were applied?

Analytic Report for Activity Managment

Hi Guys,
I try to test a report for Activity Managment in BI.
However the standard query has error and the note 692195 refer to use BDOC BUS_TRANS_MSG, but this instalation doesn't have integration for this documento with ECC (document are standalone in CRM).
If I review the tx SMW01 I found a Queue in wait for send (but I don't wan to sent to ECC). I don't have suscription for this BDOCD, but the analytic report doesn'twork
Any idea?
Regards
Lyda

BI automatically activate Middleware for send the data from CRM to BI. But, you need to complete the configuration without Suscription

Handling of pending reboot, exclusive updates for patch management with SCCM 2012

Hello,
Planning to use SCCM 2012, I would like to understand how smart is SCCM 2012 when dealing with specific patch management situation.
Assuming I have the following:
- A given server to be patched is missing a lot of updates, several being mutually exclusive. This typical case will require several reboot / patching to properly obtain a server fully up to date.
- A given server to be patched is in pending reboot state because the local admin installed new software and has not restarted the server yet as requested
- Those servers have configured maintenance windows of 2 hours during each night. I scheduled a deployment of missing patches authorizing restart.
--> when the maintenance window will be reached:
- will the server first be restarted to clean the pending reboot ?
- will the the server be patched / restarted several times as required to fully meet the updates to be deployed.
Another scenario on workstation side:
- can I enforce deployment of updates at a given time, do not automatically restart the workstation during patch deployment, but after deployment schedule a mandatory restart with a countdown if there is a pending reboot... From end-user perspective, it
would have the following behavior. For instance:
- patches are automatically installed on Monday at 10 AM
- as soon as deployment is done, warning message is displayed to ask users to reboot
- then user has up to 48h to restart his computer by himself. If he does not do it, it will be automatically done after countdown expires.
--> Can such a scenario be managed by SCCM 2012 ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have a related question about deploying Microsoft Security Updates to workstations via SCCM 2012. Is there a way to deploy the MS updates to workstations and only suppress reboots for machines with users logged on or locked? There seems to
be only 2 different options for reboots, Suppress them all or don't suppress them at all. We would like SCCM to reboot the machines that are logged off, but suppress the reboot for those that are logged on, while at the same time, provide the user with
a notification that their machine needs to be rebooted (at their convenience).
We've tried applying the Domain GPO "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" (Enabled) and "Configure Automatic Updates" (Disabled), but the logged on/locked machines still receive the restart countdown with no
option to postpone or delay.
This is a show stopper for us since we have an environment where we are absolutely not allowed to reboot a logged on machine.
For a little background, we are coming from SMS 2003 and the Distribute Software Updates (ITMU) way of deploying MS Updates, where we could always set the program to run "Only when no user is logged on".
Please tell me there is a way to achieve our desired result.
Thanks,
Dan

Custom reports for servers managed by administrators

Hi,
I'm trying to create a report using the report builder but I need some helps. First I have added the attribute "Managedby" in my system discovery method.
Now i want to create a report that display the server name, the OS, and the managed by attribute. How can I do that ?
any helps ?

Here are few links that should get you started with reporting:
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2014/01/24/create-custom-reports-for-configmgr-2012-with-report-builder/
https://sccmgeekdiary.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/
Basically you need to find out where the ManagedBy -data is stored, probably in v_R_System like noted here:

Need to find employees reporting to a manager

Hi All,
I am new to HR module.
Basically, i need to develop a report which would list out all the employees reporting to a given manager ID. I am trying to understanding how this org unit, positions and users are tied to each other and what set of tables or function modules are involved in knowing all the employees reporting to a manager.
If my question is unclear, please let me know.
Thanks,
SKJ

SKJ,
Hope this helps.
1. I had to pass 002 (Reports (line) to ) Instead of 008 to RELAT to get all those positions reporting to manager position fould in step1. Is this correct?
Ans : 002 Relation is the Reporting Relation and 008 is Holder Relationship.
002 will help you to identify the relation ie, which position reports to which position. but if you want to know who is holding the position, you will need 008 relation.
In your case both relation may be required.
2. Does your steps work in any system? I mean, no matter how the data is set up in HRP1001?
Ans : This is the standard System behavior. Unless there is specific changes.
3. Can you also let me know how to start deriving this at company code level? I also have company code termed as Line of Business on my selection. User may enter only company code and i will have to extract everything.
Ans : If you have setup account assignmnet setting for the OU, then you should be able to do that.

What is the best approach for patch management

Hi,
I'm new about patch management. I would like to ask you how manage patch on few Solaris 10 servers using command line.
I would like to know:
1. Using only command line how to download latest patches
2. There are some dependencies how to check this and install only those patches which meets dependecy requirements?
3. Is there possiblity to atomate this?
4. Is it possible to have one patch server and others servers will download and install this patches?
5. What if some patches are not installed?
6. How to find out which patches are necessary and which patches don't have to be installed? Or maybe or patches to be installed?
7. Could you please describe your approach for managing patches? Or maybe you can recommend some books/web page/articles that can help me to understand patch management.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

smpatch is the command line tool to manage solaris patching. first you need to register yours system - this can be done using sconadm, detailed here:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-82688-1
smpatch analyze will list all required patches and resolve dependencies. smpatch download will download all the required patches, and smpatch update will apply them. You can set up a Local Patch Server to download patches, then your clients will download the patches they require from it. This is detailed in chapter 6 of the update connection admin guide

Need to run the report for All Values when Null is passed in parameter

Hi All,
In my BIP report, I am using a parameter :asset with Type as Text, which means user will type the values for the parameter in the text box.
Now, this parameter can take multiple comma separated values. I have a requirement to run the report for All Values when user doesn't enter any value in the parameter text box and if user enters any value(s) then the report will run for those values . The way, I tried to handle that in the query using couple of ways was :
IMP : My Database is SQL Server
where
(table.asset = isnull((:asset), table.asset) or table.asset in (:asset))
Now this works fine when I give a single asset number but when I give multiple values separated by comma like 123, 345 in the text box, then the statement fails saying 'encountered ,'
I also tried simply
table.asset in isnull((:asset),table.asset) -- but this doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to use in operater while using isnull and if i will use = operater then it won't work in case of multiple values
Any suggestions on how can I handle this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

thanks for replying, but i tried this option too, it did not work for me, neither isnull nor coalesce. I mean, the solution work for single value but when i pass multiple values then separated by a comma then it doesn't work and shows me an error like "Incorrect Syntax ','". I am using SQL server as DB and bip is 10.1.3.4.1
also please share the SR number, so i can also check the same.
can there be any other work around to this?
thanks,
ronny

Hi, Sagar:
Nice to see your thread here
No matter what kind of transactions you are using, finally, there will be a document posted in General Ledger Accounting, which is what you want. So to read the result, you can always try function module, like FI_DOCUMENT_READ.
Hope it will help.

Hi,
If you are using 7.0 then you can save the file as a PDF file. Would suggest you precalculate while running the report as well.
