Managing Inventory Extensions Versions

Inventory extensions version settings control the version of the InventorySettings.xml file that is used by the inventory agent. InventorySettings.xml provides additional queries and rules used in the inventory collection process.

When working with Inventory extensions versions in the Agent Configuration common settings, you can choose to approve a version of the inventory extensions by clicking the Manage Versions button.

Tip:Only versions newer than the currently approved version are available for approval. Once you approve a particular version, all older versions of the Inventory extensions are placed in Archived status and subsequently unavailable.

To approve a version:

1.

Go to Agent Configurations (Data Collection > IT Visibility Inventory Tasks > Agent Configurations).

The Agent Configurations screen appears.

2.

Click the Default agent configuration tile to edit its configuration.

The default agent configuration appears.

3.

Open Inventory Agent Options and click Edit at the far right of the Common Settings section.

The Common Settings section expands.

4.

In the Inventory extensions version section, click Manage Versions.

5.

In the Manage Inventory Extensions Versions slideout, click Approve for the version you want to approve.

A confirmation dialog appears indicating that, once a specific version has been approved, you can no longer approve a lower version. Click Confirm or Cancel.

Note:You can only select a version that is higher than your organization's currently approved version.

6.

Click the Close button to close the slideout and return to the Inventory Agent Options page.

See Editing Inventory Agent Common Settings for more information about the common settings options for Agent Configurations.
