Update or reinstall the Software Catalog

Update or reinstall the Software Catalog

The Software Catalog is continually updated as new applications become available and as cataloging requests are received. These updates are automatically downloaded and installed to KACE SMAs periodically. You can manually check for updates to the Software Catalog, or reinstall the catalog.

If you have an offline appliance that does not connect to the Internet, you can obtain Software Catalog updates by contacting Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

* 
NOTE: When catalog updates are downloaded, the appliance determines whether any Locally Cataloged applications have been added to the public Software Catalog. If applications have been added, Local Cataloging is removed. Otherwise, Local Cataloging is preserved.
1.
Go to the appliance Control Panel:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings > Control Panel.
2.
Click Appliance Updates to display the Appliance Updates page.
3.
Do one of the following:
◦
In the Software Catalog section, click Check for Update.

If the Software Catalog is up to date, the Logs page appears showing the version information. If an update is available, installation information is displayed. The full catalog might be installed if any of the following are true: If there is no baseline catalog present on the appliance, if there is no pathway to updating the full catalog, or if there are more than five updates available

◦
In the Software Catalog section, click Reinstall.

The version of the Software Catalog that is stored on the appliance is replaced with the latest Software Catalog available from Quest KACE. The full Software Catalog includes the latest full version of the catalog as well as any updates, or differentials, that have been added since the latest full version was released.

◦
If your appliance is offline and does not have Internet access, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.
