(Optional) Create Inventory Detection Modules for SCAP Inventory

Client Automation automatically creates inventory detection modules for all the FDCC checklists placed under the SCAP_Checklists folder. When you copy a new version of an existing checklist to a new folder under SCAP_Checklists folder, the existing inventory detection module for the checklist is updated with the information from the latest version. In rare circumstances, you may want to use different versions of a checklist for scanning. In this case, you need to manually create inventory detection modules for the versions that are not currently configured for use. For example, if an inventory detection module is configured to scan the highest version always, you can create inventory detection modules for any older checklist version if you want to use the same for scanning.

To create inventory detection modules

1. In the DSM Explorer, navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Collection Modules, Inventory Detection Modules.

   The existing detection modules appear in the right pane.

2. Right-click Inventory Detection Modules folder and click New from the Context menu.

   The Create New Inventory Module dialog appears.

3. In the General tab, specify the inventory module name. Specify a name that represents the checklist name.
4. In the Configuration tab, specify the configuration for SCAP inventory detection. Following is the sample configuration for FDCC IE7 checklist:

   [SCAP]
   SCAPPath=FDCC-Major-Version-1.2.1.0\ie7
   XCCDFFile=fdcc-ie7-xccdf.xml
   XCCDFID=fdcc-ie-7
   XCCDFVersion=v1.2.1.0
   XCCDFVersionOptions=v1.2.1.0Profileoptions=`v1.2.1.0;Federal Desktop Core Configuration version 1.2.1.0; CPEDictionary=fdcc-ie7-cpe-dictionary.xml
   CollectXCCDFResultFile=false
   CollectOVALResultFiles=false
   OvaldiPath=ovaldi-ca
   InvComponent=$SCAP$FDCC IE7
   

   Note: For more information about the parameters and their descriptions, see the appendix SCAP Configuration Parameters.

5. In the Platforms tab, select Windows 32 bit, click Win32 generic, and then enter amiscap.exe in the text field next to the option button.
6. Click OK.

   The inventory detection module for the configured checklist is created and appears under the Inventory Detection Modules folder. Configure one or more hardware inventory collect tasks to include the new inventory detection modules.
