Windows patch database conflict report

The patch database has a new field, Last Import Summary, which reports if any duplicates were found in your database. In the SA Client, navigate to Administration > Patch Settings > Patch Database to view this field.

Initially, this field will appear blank. However, after performing a patch import, this field will be updated to reflect the state of the imported database:

 

Field value

Description

Finished

The import operation completed.

Warning: <number> duplicates found. See the SA 10.5 Release Notes.

There is a conflict discovered in the patch database due to duplicate patches.

If you encounter the warning, you should remove the duplicates before performing a compliance scan or remediation operation.

Note
If the Last Import Summary field continues to appear blank after running an import, it may be because of a known issue where the import is taking a long time and has not finished updating the patch library, or there is a rendering delay and SA Client cache needs to be reloaded (from the SA Client menu, go to Tools > Options, and click Reload Cache).
