When Requesting A Package From A Repository, The Package (.Crate File) Cannot Be Found - VMware VCM 5.3 Troubleshooting Manual

VCM Troubleshooting Guide
When requesting a package from a repository, the package (.crate file)
cannot be found
Possible Cause
The package (.crate file) was
deleted from the repository.
The package was copied to the
repository rather than
published.
The package was copied to the
repository and the
repository.index file was
updated, but the platform and
section were not reindexed and
the package was not added to
the crates.gz file.
The repository was manually
reorganized.
Package was published to the
repository using the hive.exe
command or Package Studio,
but the repository entry was not
included in the Repository.xml
file.

Remediation
1. Remove the package entries from the
<path>\VMware\Tools\Repository\.hive\repository.index file.
2. Reindex all platforms and sections from which you removed
the entry. To reindex, run C:\Repository>"C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Package Studio\hive.exe" reindex
"C:\Repository\dists\Any\Release\binary-<platform>"
<platform> <section>.
3. Using Package Studio to republish the package to the
repository.
Publish the package to the repository using the Package Studio.
Do not use the version of the package copied to the repository.
You can either publish the locally saved version of the package
to the selected repository platform and section, or you can copy
the repository version to another location on the machine, and
then publish it to the repository using the Package Studio.
Reindex all platforms and sections from which you removed the
entry. To reindex, runC:\Repository>"C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Package Studio\hive.exe" reindex
"C:\Repository\dists\Any\Release\binary-<platform>" <platform>
<section>.
1. Update the Repository.index file to remove the old locations
and add the new locations.
2. Reindex all platforms and sections from which you removed
the entry. To reindex, runC:\Repository>"C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Package Studio\hive.exe" reindex
"C:\Repository\dists\Any\Release\binary-<platform>"
<platform> <section>.
Add the repository entry to the Repository.xml using Package
Manager. Add to the same Platform and Section to which the
package was published.
