What is new in Version 3.0.0

The following updates were released with SSA Version 3.0.0.
Important:
  • For Correlation, Persistence and Prerequisite, BigFix Platform and Agent version 9.5.11 or later must be installed.
  • For Messaging, BigFix Platform and Agent version 9.5.7 or later must be installed.
Correlation

A new way to manage the Lifecycle of your software products with the new Install and Uninstall correlated task.

When a software package is made available to the end user, SSA verifies if it is already installed or not and provides the end user with the appropriate task.

To create Install and Uninstall correlated tasks, they must be created from BigFix WebUI and belong to the same configuration of a software package.

Persistence

Software packages are now persistent in SSA and always visible in the Software Catalog.

Prerequisites

A new way to define and manage the software package prerequisites, extremely useful to prevent software installation failures.

If a software package prerequisite is not met, the end user is notified about it, and will be able to retry installing the software after satisfying the prerequisite.

Prerequisites must be created only through BigFix WebUI using Software app.

Messaging
A new messaging feature to keep the end user constantly and effectively informed about required software, needed restarts, and software installation progress (displaying messages before the installation, during the installation and after the installation).
