Or
How to customize the existing Product_categories.xml file to add a new filter to the available filters for a Windows Patch Catalog?
 

In addition to native Windows OS patches, TSSA offers patching support for numerous non-OS products.
The list of all the available products can be seen from the Filters list when creating/editing a new Windows Patch Catalog:






iVanti updates the product list from time to time and it is possible that some of the latest products may not be visible/included in the existing TSSA Catalog filter list. 

The supported products by Ivanti can be confirmed in the following link:
https://www.ivanti.com/support/supported-products

Then any new products can be added to the filter list by following the steps in the TSSA documentation:

Please browse to the section titled Customizing the product_category.xml file for full details

Please see the following steps for a demo of how to update the product_category.xml file




Note-

• The steps mentioned in documentation include generating a list of available products from Ivanti and then editing/importing the product_categories.xml file so that the latest products are listed in the filter list.
• This activity does not require any TSSA downtime.
• If the desired product is not listed in the list of available products then the product is not supported by Ivanti
• Please raise a case with BMC Support if an expected product is not present in the generated list
• BMC Customer Support can raise a case with Ivanti and provide confirmation on whether the product is actually supported or not
