Select Software Repository Location Panel

A Windows Installer package is made up of many files that are executed when the setup is run. You only import the

file into the Application Catalog, not all of the files necessary for installation. With the Software Repository,

when you import an installation package into the Application Catalog, all of the files associated with that package

are copied into the Software Repository location, a directory that you specify. This allows you to manage those

files, preventing them from getting modified or lost.

On the Select Software Repository Location panel, you can choose to Enable the Software Repository for

the new Application Catalog, and specify a Proxy Account for AdminStudio to use to make modifications to the

directory path selected as the Software Repository Location.

This panel includes the following options:

AdminStudio 9.5 User Guide

Select this check box to designate this new Application Catalog as a Subscriber

database in Application Catalog Replication (a database that receives replicated

data). When this option is not selected, or when an existing database is

upgraded, the Application Catalog is defined as a Publisher database in

Application Catalog Replication (a database that makes data available for

replication).

The AdminStudio interface selectively enables/disables the Replication menu

items on the Catalog menu based upon the type of Application Catalog that is

currently opened.

Application Catalog Replication is included with the AdminStudio Enterprise

Edition. If you have AdminStudio Standard or Professional Editions, this check box is

disabled. Contact your AdminStudio Sales Representative for more information.

This check box only appears when creating a new Application Catalog, not when

logging in to an existing Application Catalog.
