BMC Discovery Extended Data Pack 2019-November-1 is a deliverable for BMC Discovery 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 series.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU October 2019 release now attempts to include provenance URLs with each SupportDetail node and displays these, together with the failure reason messages, in the Discovery UI.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU September 2019 release now features an enhanced set of failure reason messages each explaining why we are unable to provide any or all end of life dates.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU February 2019 release has had the expensive search to remove legacy SupportDetail nodes removed from both the SoftwareInstance and Host (Operating System) Support Detail pattern modules.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU January 2019 release now features a single Support Detail pattern module for SoftwareInstance nodes, rendering the 885 previously released product-specific Support Detail pattern modules as obsolete.
The Extended Data Pack TKU January 2019 release now features a single Support Detail pattern module for Host (Operating System) nodes, rendering the 25 previously released OS-specific Support Detail pattern modules as obsolete.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU February 2018 release now features a helpful message on the SupportDetail node should we be unable to provide End-of-Life data for a particular SoftwareInstance, Host (OS), VirtualMachine, NetworkDevice or StorageDevice node kind.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU September 2017 release for Discovery 11.2 only now additionally includes lifecycle patterns for the VirtualMachine, NetworkDevice, StorageDevice, Host and HostContainer (Blade Enclosure) node kinds. It also now includes hardware reference data for the HostContainer (Blade Enclosure) node kind. The hardware reference data is now embedded directly in the pattern and no longer shipped as an importable csv file. This is available only for users who have a license for the Extended Data Pack.
Note
The Extended Data Pack TKU July 2016 release comes with a new feature! BMC Discovery now automatically links to National Vulnerability Database. This is available only for users who have a license for the Extended Data Pack. Please see here the details of the new feature.
Customers can access this Extended Data Pack from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution Website. If you're a customer or partner and do not already have a login please contact your BMC account manager.

Within Discovery, you may find a failure reason attribute attached to a Support Detail node which describes the current state of the Support Detail node with regard to its missing End Of Life data:
Failure Reason for Host (Operating System), Software Instance, Runtime Environment and Virtual Machine | Failure Reason for Network Devices and Storage Devices | Explanation |
---|---|---|
EOL dates are only available with a vendor support login | EOL dates may or may not have been published behind a support logon | |
The EOL dates come from the host operating system | The EOL dates come from the host operating system | |
Product is an open source offering of a commercial product | N/A | Product is an open source offering of a commercial product for which EOL dates have been published |
Product is a sub-component of multiple products | Model is a sub-component of multiple models | Product/model is a sub-component of multiple products/models which do not share the same EOL dates |
The missing EOL dates are unpublished | In situations where we have only one or two of the three EOL dates, the remaining EOL dates are missing as unpublished | |
Multiple sets of conflicting EOL dates relate to this product | Multiple sets of conflicting EOL dates relate to this model | Multiple sets of EOL dates relate to this product/model and are in conflict |
No published information is available for this product | No published information is available for this model | An extensive search has been conducted and the BMC Discovery TKU team has been unable to locate any End Of Life data for this product/model. |
Information pending | The BMC Discovery TKU team has yet to carry out an extensive search to ascertain whether End Of Life data for the product/model can be found. | |
Published dates are invalid | The publisher/vendor has published End Of Life dates for this version of the product/model but they are incomprehensible or in conflict and would cause confusion if added to Discovery. Such confusing dates might be the End of Support date expiring before the Retirement date. | |
Product is too old | Model is too old | The publisher/vendor is no longer publishing End Of Life data for this product (regardless of product version) or model (regardless of firmware version) as it is too old. |
Product is too recent | Model is too recent | The publisher/vendor has yet to publish End Of Life data for this product (regardless of product version) or model (regardless of firmware version) as it is too new. |
Product name is too generic | Model name is too generic | Product/model name is too generic and we are unable to isolate one set of EOL dates which relate |
The published dates for this version are provisional | The EOL dates for this product version/firmware version are provisional/projected and not yet officially confirmed by the publisher/vendor | |
Product version is not listed by the publisher | Firmware version is not listed by the vendor | The publisher/vendor publishes End Of Life data for other versions of this product/model but this version has been omitted. |
Product or particular version supported but actual EOL dates unknown | Model or particular firmware version supported but actual EOL dates unknown | The publisher/vendor has stated that this product/model or a particular version is supported but no actual EOL dates have been published |
Product version is too old | Firmware version is too old | The publisher/vendor is no longer publishing End Of Life data for such a (firmware) version as it is too old. |
Product version is too recent | Firmware version is too recent | The publisher/vendor has yet to publish End Of Life data for such a (firmware) version as it is too new. |
Omitted to avoid conflict as published EOL dates are at different versioning level | The EOL dates for this product/firmware version have been omitted as the published EOL dates are for a different versioning level and if applied would result in a conflict. |
