Search Packages Page

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 2023 | Reports

Edition:Reports is included with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition and with Workflow Manager.

From the Search Packages page, you can select or search for a specific package, and then generate a detailed Package Report. On this page, you can filter the list of packages displayed in the package tree to display only those packages that meet specific search criteria, which are grouped into three categories:

•

Package Attributes—Search by properties assigned to the Windows Installer package. See Package Attributes.

•

Package Content—Search by files, registry entries, .ini files, or shortcuts contained in the Windows Installer package. See Package Content.

•

Application Request Attributes—Search by information related to a package’s associated request. See Application Request Attributes.

To filter the list of packages displayed in the package tree to display only those packages that meet specific search criteria, enter values in the criteria fields that you want to search on, and click Search. The packages that meet any of the criteria are then listed in the package tree in alphabetical order and are no longer grouped.

Package Attributes

You can search for packages in a catalog based on one or more of any of the following Package attribute metadata:

Package Attribute Search Fields
Metadata	Description
Package Code	Enter the GUID that identifies a particular Windows Installer .msi package. The Package Code associates an .msi file with an application or product and is represented as a string GUID—a text string that has a special format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} where each X character is a hex digit (0 through 9 or uppercase A through F).
Product Code	Enter the GUID that uniquely identifies the particular product release of the package. The ProductCode is a Windows Installer property and is represented as a string GUID—a text string that has a special format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} where each X character is a hex digit (0 through 9 or uppercase A through F).
Upgrade Code	Enter the GUID that identifies the family of products that are in the same upgrade path. The UpgradeCode is a Windows Installer property and is represented as a string GUID—a text string that has a special format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXsXXXXX} where each X character is a hex digit (0 through 9 or uppercase A through F). Note:Each stand-alone product usually has its own UpgradeCode GUID. Every version of XYZ Product typically uses the same GUID for the UpgradeCode.
