Hello ,
I am currently adotping the 'Symantec Zero Day' patch worflow to existing process in my company. At certain stage, let's say after the pilot phase, I need to disable the bulletins that potentially caused issues before moving to the production stage.
I am looking for the way to disable the bulletin, provided I have the bulletin's guid or name. The disabled bulletin is not distributed to the package servers. I reviewed the ASDK webservices methods as well as Workflow components. The closest I found is the disable policy method. But it is not what I am looking for.
I also used the Altiris Profiler to trace the SQL. The stored procedure that seems to do the trick is:
EXECUTE spItemActiveSave @Guid='Guidofbulletintobedisabled', @Enabled=0, @KeepExisting=0
I could use it in the intergration library. But really I doubt it is enough ?. It changes the status from 'Yes' to 'No' in the Downloaded colument in Remediation Center but I doubt I will disable the corresponding policies and advertisements the same way as when you do the disable action in the console UI.
Thank you in advance for any hints.
Tomasz
