Viewing Package Catalog History

AdminStudio 11.0 | Application Manager

The tracking of change history is a critical operation within the Enterprise environment. Maintaining this information, displaying it, and allowing it to be a filter will gives you the information you need to monitor and maintain the integrity of your software packages.

In AdminStudio, any operation that materially changes a software package or the data associated with the package is tracked, and can be viewed in the Application Manager Catalog History view.

To view a package’s catalog history:

1. Open Application Manager.
2. In the tree, expand a Windows Installer or App-V package node and select the Catalog History node. The Catalog History view opens, displaying the following information:
