Mapping Architecture Values Between Compliance Output and Patching Metadata

Info

This article applies to MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK releases deployed on Windows, Linux, MacOS.

Overview

This article explains how to map the architecture.name value returned from the SDK’s GetVersion to the arch field in patch_associations.json and the architecture field in the download_links array of patch_aggregation.json. This mapping ensures that patch selection and download processes work correctly across different platforms and architectures.

Table mapping

`architecture.name` from GetVersion output	`arch` from `patch_associations.json`	`download_links[].architecture` from `patch_aggregation.json`
`aarch64`	`arm64`	`arm64`
`arm64`	`arm64`	`arm64`
`arm`	`arm`(*)	`arm`(*)
`Intel Itanium`	`Intel Itanium`(*)	`Intel Itanium`(*)
`i386`	`32-bit`	`32-bit`
`i386:x86-64`	`i386:x86-64`(*)	`i386:x86-64`(*)
`n/a`	Cannot map	Cannot map
`N/A`	Cannot map	Cannot map
`x32`	`32-bit`	`32-bit`
`x64`	`64-bit`	`64-bit`
`x86`	`32-bit`	`32-bit`
`x86_64`	`64-bit` or `x86_64`	`64-bit`

(*) This value is not present in the current JSON file as there are no supported products for patching at this time. However, this field may be populated in future releases when additional products become available for patching support.
