Example Table Queries
Running a table query produces a report that displays all Windows Installer packages in
the Software Manager database that meet the query criteria. Use table queries to view
and analyze package data. Example: You can display all packages that contain isolated
components, or all packages that contain certain launch conditions.
The table report is displayed in XML format. The template used to format the report,
TableReport.xsl, is located in the Reports subdirectory of the share point directory. You
can customize the template to supply branding information, to filter data, or to
transform the data to another format.
If a package that you think should appear on the table report is missing, it might mean
that the table containing the query data was not imported for that package. This can
happen if the table was empty, if the table was not specified in the Software Manager
preferences, or if the Software Manager preferences were changed after the package
was imported.
Before you perform the following steps, one or more queries must have been created.
