Target manifest format
If you wish to generate your own manifests for a target system (i.e. you aren't using the Qscan tool), remember that the manifest must be in target manifest format. To see examples of this format, simply export a few test reports from the QNX Software Center GUI, as exported reports also use the target manifest format. Exporting a report from the GUI is easy and takes only a few minutes.
When generating a manifest, follow these simple rules:
- Arrange the metadata fields for each file in a single row and separate the fields with commas.
-
Use the field names listed in the
Field Name in Manifest
column of theManifest report fields
table. - Make sure that, at a minimum, your manifest includes these fields: NAME, BUILDID, DIGESTSHA512. Otherwise, you won't be able to import the manifest and create a report.
- Save the manifest as a plain text file.
You can also create your target manifest as a spreadsheet in an application like Microsoft Excel and export the spreadsheet as a CSV file. You can then import the CSV file into the Reports feature of the QNX Software Center.
