CPM for Mac Task Flows

In general, start by using the CPM Dashboard to make configuration settings. Then, bundle the settings into a Task, which delivers an Action to targeted computers. Tasks also include a Relevance, which provides an extra layer of logic that can further define eligible targets. All IBM BigFix Agents (on which the CPM client runs) receive Tasks. Each agent makes its own determination whether its host endpoint meets the conditions of the Task, that is, whether the Action is Relevant or not.

• Relevance is determined by checking whether a particular set of conditions is true for a particular endpoint. If all the conditions are true, the endpoint is designated as eligible for whatever Task, Fixlet, or Action did the checking.
• Fixlets are a way of polling endpoints to see whether they are Relevant for an Action. In other words, Fixlets make Actions in a Task possible when conditions are met.
• Fixlets can be grouped into Baselines to create a sequence of Fixlet Actions.
• Offers are a way of obtaining users consent before you take an action.
