Update Application Catalog Configuration

Go Up to Dashboard Commands

The application catalog contains a list of all the applications available from Embarcadero. As new versions and new applications become available you can synchronize the AppWave catalog, and the applications cached on your AppWave, with the Embarcadero AppWave.

Updating the application catalog and downloading the applications to your AppWave are considered to be optional first steps when configuring AppWave. The application catalog is synchronized with the Embarcadero AppWave catalog when the AppWave service runs for the first time. You do not need to download all the applications your license gives you access to all at once.

If you have enabled the System Property > User-initiated caching, when the AppWave Browser user launches an application that is not already cached on AppWave, the download from the Embarcadero AppWave to your AppWave automatically starts and when the download is finished the AppWave Browser user can immediately run the application. However, if the applications are cached on AppWave, then the applications launch much quicker. This is especially true for large applications such as RAD Studio.

From Update Application Catalog you have different options to update the application catalog:

1. From the Dashboard, click Update application catalog configuration.
2. The Version Updates pane appears.
3. Choose the manner in which you want to update your catalog and application list.
   1. Update application catalog but don't download application (recommended) : Only updates the catalog list available from Embarcadero.
   2. Update application catalog and download new versions of applications already available on your AppWave host: Updates the catalog list available from Embarcadero and also caches newer versions of apps already available on your Appwave.
   3. Approve application catalog updates (approval request are sent via notifications): sends you notifications with new apps on the catalog in case you want to include them on the catalog on your browser.
   4. Turn off automatic updates: if you don't want the catalog to automatically update.

To immediately update the catalog, click Update now.

To manually update the catalog and the applications stored on AppWave, click Manually update your applications, enter the path to the apps, and then click Submit.

Note: If you want to cache an app, go to MANAGE APPS > App Inventory. You can select the apps you want to download to your AppWave.
