Methods

The following table lists the methods in SMS_SoftwareProductCompliance.

Method	Description
DeleteByQuery	Class method that deletes a group of records specified by a WQL SELECT statement. It returns the number of rows deleted.
Export	Class method that exports program compliance information from the database in tab-delimited format. It returns the number of records exported.
Import	Class method that overwrites, in the database, any matching record of program-compliance data. The data is in tab-delimited format. It returns the number of valid records imported.
ProcessInBox	Class method that imports all files found in the software product compliance inbox. It returns the number of records imported.

Remarks

The Import and ProcessInBox methods are used to load compliance data into the SMS database. The Import and ProcessInBox methods import software product compliance data from a tab-delimited text file supplied by the product vendor or built by the system administrator. The file can contain information from one or more sources. SMS is shipped with the latest Microsoft compliance file, Y2kprod.txt, which is located in the \SMSSETUP\Sms\Y2k directory.
