Retrieving the list of directories that are excluded from being scanned (BigFix scenario)

To retrieve the list of all directories that are currently excluded from scanning, activate a relevant analysis in the BigFix console.

1. Log in to the BigFix console.
2. In the navigation tree, click Sites > External Sites > IBM License Reporting (ILMT) v9, and then click Analyses.
3. Select the Excluded Directories analysis, right-click on it, and then click Activate. The analysis is activated and starts retrieving the list of directories.
4. To view the excluded directories, click the Results tab. Directories are divided according to endpoints. You can view the directories in three ways:
   • All directories printed on separate lines are listed in the Excluded Directories column. If an entry says <multiple results>, hover over it to view the complete list.
   • All directories printed on one line and separated with a semicolon (;) are listed in the Excluded Directories (semicolon separated) column.
   • You can also double-click on <multiple results> to view the summary. All directories are listed in the Excluded Directories entry.
