Before you begin

In the .ndi file, look for a ScriptResult block similar to the following:

<ScriptResult RecognitionRuleID="OracleCPURule" Revision="86">
H4sICGWxJ2IAA09yYWNsZV9GTVcudGFyAOxd63fitrb....
</ScriptResult>

or:

<ScriptResult RecognitionRuleID="OracleFMWRule" Revision="86">
H4sICGWxJ2IAA09yYWNsZV9GTVcudGFyAOxd63fitrb....
</ScriptResult>

This confirms that:

• The OracleFMW or Oracle CPU inventory scan ran successfully.
• The agent used recognition rules from InventorySettings.xml revision 86.
• The content is Base64-encoded and GZIP-compressed (the H4sI prefix indicates GZIP).

To read the data, you must first decode it from Base64 and then decompress it.

Option 1: Decode using CyberChef (easiest option)

1. Open CyberChef 
2. Paste the encoded text from the .ndi file into the Input panel.
3. In the Operations search box, find From Base64 and drag it into the recipe area.
4. Find Gunzip Decompress and drag it under From Base64.
5. Review the decoded XML in the Output panel.

This option is recommended if you want a quick result without using the command line.

Option 2: Decode using Linux or macOS

1. Save the encoded text to a file, for example: scriptresult.txt.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Run the following command:

cat scriptresult.txt | base64 --decode | gunzip

The command outputs the decoded XML directly to the terminal.

Option 3: Decode using PowerShell on Windows

1. Save the encoded text to a file, for example scriptresult.txt.
2. Download and save the attached PowerShell Script (Decoder.ps1)
3. Open PowerShell and navigate to the folder where the script and content file are located.
4. Run the script using the command:

.\DecodeFlexera.ps1

5. Provide the file name when prompted.

This will generate a decoded XML file.
