Matching the Applications

After the applications list is imported into the catalog, AdminStudio performs automatic matching of the applications in the list against packages in catalog and Package Feed Module.

The matching packages in the catalog and Package Feed Module for an application will be displayed in the Version in Catalog and Latest Version columns respectively. For a given application, depending on how close the Product Name, Version and Vendor matches with the packages in the catalog and Package Feed Module, you may see single or multiple matching entries in the Version in Catalog and Latest Version columns. If there are no matching packages found, then you will find no package entries in these two columns. After import and matching, AdminStudio by default sets all the applications to No Match in Version in Catalog, Latest Version, and Status column.

To match the applications:

1. For an application, select the appropriate package entry in the Version in Catalog and Latest Version, if there are more than one entries found.
2. Click Save button after the matching is done, to retain the matching. You will notice the Status of the applications will be change after clicking on Save.

The following information is listed for each application:

Column

Description

Product Name

Name of application from the imported CSV file.

Vendor

Vendor of application from the imported CSV file.

Version

Version of application from the imported CSV file.

Version in Catalog

This column displays the matching package entries in the Application Catalog for the applications in the list. Depending on AdminStudio's automatic matching, this column may have single or multiple matching entries. By default, the matching will be set to No Match for all the applications. If no matching packages are found in the catalog, then the column will list no packages. Supported package types include .exe, .msi, and .ps1. The package entry is displayed in the format: ProductName_Version_SetupType, to help easy matching. Example: 7-Zip_19.00.00_MSI.

Latest Version

This column displays the matching package entries in the Package Feed Module for the applications in the list. Depending on AdminStudio's automatic matching, this column may have single or multiple matching entries. The versions of the packages displayed will be always equal to or greater than the version of the listed application. This helps you know if there is a newer (and latest) version available in Package Feed Module. By default, the matching will be set to No Match for all the applications. If no matching packages are found in the Package Feed Module, then the column will list no packages. Supported package types include .exe and .msi. The package entry is displayed in the format: ProductName_Version_SetupType, to help easy matching. Example: 7-Zip_19.00.00_MSI_IgorPavlov.

Status

After the apps list is imported into Application Catalog, AdminStudio assigns No Match status to all the applications by default. Select the matching entry in the Version in Catalog and Latest Version columns and click on Save. Upon clicking on Save, AdminStudio will automatically change the status of the applications based on the selections made in Version in Catalog and Latest Version columns. Here is the of all the possible status of an application:

• No Match—Indicates No Match is selected, for an application, in both the Version in Catalog and Latest Version columns.
• No Match in Catalog—Indicates an appropriate matching package entry is found and selected in the Latest Version column (Package Feed Modules packages) but there is no matching package entry found and No Match is selected in the Version in Catalog column.
• No Match in Package Feed—Indicates an appropriate matching package entry in found and selected in the Version in Catalog column but there is no matching package entry found and No Match is selected in the Latest Version column.
• New Version Available—A matching package for an application is found and selected in the Version in Catalog (in Application Catalog) and Latest Version (in Package Feed Module) columns. When the selected package is Latest Version has the version newer (or greater) than package entry selected in the Version in Catalog, then the status is set to New Version Available. This status indicates that a new version of an application is available in Package Feed Module as compared to the version in catalog.
• Success—After When a new version of an application is available in Package Feed Module, the next step will be to get this new version in the Application Catalog through various pre-configured actions like import, test etc. Once all the pre-configured actions are executed successfully on the newly available version, then the status of this application will be set to Success. If any of the pre-configured actions fail, then the status would be set appropriately. Example if Import action fails, then the status will be Import Failed.

Note:An application's status, which has matching package entry in Latest Version, will be reset to New Version Available from its current status, whenever a new version of this application is available in Package Feed Module.
