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:
- Open Application Manager and select the Home tab of the ribbon.
- 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:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Action | Name 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 |
| Date | Date and time logged event occurred. |
| User | User who performed the logged event. |
| Description | Description providing details of the logged event. |
If a package was replicated into another Application Catalog, its history data would not be replicated.
