Replicating Application Catalogs - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Chapter 6: Managing Application Catalog Databases
Sharing Application Catalog Data
However, if AdminStudio encounters a duplicate package name during auto import, the package you are importing
will be automatically renamed by pre-pending the Product Name with the Manufacturer's name and, if necessary,
appending the Product Name with numbers:
• 1st Package:
• 2nd Package:
The import is allowed to proceed without prompting the user.
You can edit the Duplicate Package Naming Syntax on the Duplicate Package tab of the Options dialog box.

Replicating Application Catalogs

Edition • Application Catalog replication is available in AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.
AdminStudio Application Catalog Replication makes it possible to distribute an AdminStudio Application Catalog
database where it is needed across a large enterprise or multi-national corporation. One location can publish
software packages to IT teams at other sites, keeping all teams current while enabling each to manage their
software independently.
