Avaya Software Compatibility Audit Report Overview
The Avaya Software Compatibility Audit (ASCA) Report enables users without access to Avaya
Software Update Manager to generate inventory reports. A script is run on the Communication
Manager to generate an inventory file. ASCA then outputs the inventory file to an inventory
report in HTML format. The information in the HTML report can be filtered, to display only the
information you require.
The script that the Communication Manager uses to generate the inventory file can be found on
Communication Manager release 4.0 or later. For Communication Manager release 2.x and 3.x,
it is necessary to upload a service pack update containing the script and install it onto the
Communication Manager.
