Application Manager and ConflictSolver
In previous releases, ConflictSolver was the only tool that provided a comprehensive view of the Application
Catalog. Consequently, ConflictSolver was used to perform functions that are not related to conflict detection or
resolution, such as importing and storing packages in a database, and organizing those packages.
To reduce the complexity of ConflictSolver, the functionality that was being provided by ConflictSolver has been
divided into two tools: ConflictSolver and Application Manager. This section compares these tools and includes the
following topics:
•
Functionality Comparison
•
Accessing the Tools
•

Description
You can generate both pre-defined and user-defined reports using ConflictSolver.
ConflictSolver includes many rules that are used for identifying package conflicts.
This section covers each rule, and also discusses how to create your own rules.
Conflict Application Resolution Definitions (CARDs) are the rules used to fix
conflicts identified by Application Conflict Evaluators (ACEs) when conflict
detection is performed.
Every view, dialog box, and Wizard available in ConflictSolver is discussed in this
section.
