A step-by-step guide on how to get started.
Description and Requirements.
Patch Catalog enables you to import 3rd party applications into your Workspace. It currently supports the following public repositories:
- Microsoft Winget
It hosts multiple versions of each application, typically n-5.
The database is synced with public repositories on a daily basis.
The following is required to use it:
- An active Rimo3 Workspace
- A valid license that includes access
- Valid credentials
Accessing
It can be accessed directly from the Workspace user interface.
This will open the Patch Catalog on a new tab in your browser and automatically log you in with Seamless Single Sign-On.
From here you can either:
- Search for an application directly from the search bar, or
- Scroll down and Dbrowse the catalogue
You can browse the catalogue in grid format or list format by selecting the relevant option:
Importing an Application
To import an application to Workspace, locate the application and then click on the <select version> button.
You will then be presented with all of the available versions of that application.
Select the workspace into which you want to import the selected application and how you want to import the application.
You can choose the level of automation that applies to the import process:
- Import - Only import the application
- Discover - Import and then Discover that application
- Onboard - Fully onboard the application only
- Fully Automated Validation - Onboard and validate the application against target environments.
- Export to Intune - Export the application to Intune if it passes all automated tests.
Export to Intune is only available if you have at least 1 Intune instance configured in your Rimo3 Workspace.
If you have multiple Intune tenants connected to your Rimo3 Workspace, the application will be exported to your default Intune tenant.
To configure a default Intune tenant follow the instruction here.
Onboarding an application version one time
To onboard an application version one time find your desired application version and click on the <Onboard> button.
You can use the filters to find a specific architecture, Package Type, Language or Scope (user/machine install)
If the onboarding is successful you will receive a confirmation message, click on the provided link to track the progress, or simply navigate to Overview dashboard to view the progress of the import.
If you receive an error when trying to onboard an application from the Patch Catalog, check the following:
- Your Workspace Gateway VM is online
- You have Task Runner environments configured
If all is well, and depending on what pipeline option you selected, you will see the application progressing through on the Overview Dashboard.
Subscribing to an application (auto-update)
To onboard a specific version of an application and automatically import new versions of the application click on the Subscribe button instead
If the onboarding is successful you will receive a message confirming that you have successfully subscribed to the application, click on the provided link to track the progress, or simply navigate to Overview dashboard to view the progress of the import.
When subscribing to an application newer versions of the application with the same architecture, package type, language and scope will be automatically imported.
To automatically import different architectures, package types, languages and scopes you will need to subscribe to each unique combination of properties.
