Select Software Repository Location Panel

AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | Application Manager | Application Manager Wizard

A Windows Installer package is made up of many files that are executed when the setup is run. You only import the .msi file into the Application Catalog, not all of the files necessary for installation. With the Software Repository, when you import an installation package into the Application Catalog, all of the files associated with that package are copied into the Software Repository location, a directory that you specify. This allows you to manage those files, preventing them from getting modified or lost.

On the Select Software Repository Location panel, you can choose to Enable the Software Repository for the new Application Catalog, and specify a Proxy Account for AdminStudio to use to make modifications to the directory path selected as the Software Repository Location.

Important:You are only permitted to enable the Software Repository when creating an Application Catalog, not after it has already been created.

The Select Software Repository Location panel includes the following options:

Software Repository Location	Enter or select the directory location of the Software Repository for this Application Catalog. All of the files associated with a package that is imported into the Application Catalog are copied to this location. This allows you to manage those files, preventing them from getting modified or lost.
Proxy Account	Specify the Login ID and Password for a Proxy Account that AdminStudio can use to access and modify the specified Software Repository Location folder. Note:You cannot use Windows Authentication for this Proxy Account.

Only such accounts can be used as a Proxy Account to access the Software Repository Location directory.
