The sections that follow contain various methods that you can use to obtain status information (maturity level) on the files and packages, as well as other legal information. See Deploy licenses to users to learn more about the package status.

Data collection method

Single file lookup - by attribute

You can look up file information using known file attributes (i.e. DigestSHA512, BuildID, Package)

Single file lookup - by file

You can look up file information for a specific file by providing the file itself.

Single file lookup - by use

You can look up file information for a specific file by providing the output of the use -i command.

Multiple file lookup - host directory scan

You can lookup information on a set of files by scanning the host directory, or the mounted target directory.

Multiple file lookup - target manifest

You can lookup information on a set of files by scanning the target file system using the Qscan tool, and then importing this report.

Reporting Method

The QNX Software Center currently only supports custom and templated reports. Reports come in the form of a tree table where you can group, sort, hide, and show columns.

The columns, grouping and sorting of the templated reports are pre-configured. For more information, see Manifest report fields.

Export Method

The QNX Software Center currently only exports reports in CSV (comma-separated values) format, so it's easy to process them with your existing data analysis and office productivity tools.
