Viewing Package Catalog History

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | 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 Catalog Catalog History view.

To view a package’s catalog history:

  1. Open Application Manager and select the Home tab of the ribbon.
  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:
ItemDescription
ActionName of the event which was logged: Import/Reimport Validation Conflict Detection Conflict Resolution Extended Attribute Modification Package Description Modification Package Move/Copy Patch Impact Analysis
DateDate and time logged event occurred.
UserUser who performed the logged event.
DescriptionDescription providing details of the logged event.
note

If a package was replicated into another Application Catalog, its history data would not be replicated.
