Upload disconnected scanner IBM-i, via REST API

  • 1.  Upload disconnected scanner IBM-i, via REST API

    Posted Wed September 13, 2023 04:17 AM

    Hi team,

    Uploading disconnected scan results (disconnected scenario)

    Ibm remove preview
    Uploading disconnected scan results (disconnected scenario)
    9.2.30 Available from 9.2.30. If computers with disconnected scanners have connectivity to the License Metric Tool server (direct or through a proxy), you can set up regular upload of scan results by providing the LMT_SERVER_URL and LMT_SERVER_API_TOKEN parameters in the setup_config.ini file.
    View this on Ibm >

    In your example https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=server-uploading-disconnected-scan-results you propose to upload scanner results via REST API.

    Is this method available when the server is IBM-i ? 

    If not, can you please tell me if you plan to setup this upload for IBM-i ?

    I have many customers with IBM-i and I guess this method will be easier to implement rather then a NFS ou scp transfer.

    Thanks to handle

    Hello Guillaume,

    Unfortunately, this method is not available on IBM-i and there are no plans for such...
    Mainly because curl command is not available by default on iSeries machines.

    What you could do is to manually install cURL and use the REST API for uploading disconnected scan results:
