A step-by-step guide on how to get started with Patch360.
Description and Requirements.
Patch360 enables you to import 3rd party applications into your Workspace360 environment. Patch360 currently supports the following public repositories:
- Microsoft Winget
Patch360 host multiple versions of each application, typically n-5.
The Patch360 database is synced with public repositories on a daily basis.
The following is required to use Patch360:
- An active Rimo3 Workspace360 tenant
- A valid license that includes access to Patch360
- Patch360 credentials
Accessing Patch360
Patch360 can be accessed directly from the Workspace360 user interface.
This will open Patch360 on a new tab in your browser.
Authentication
Patch360 currently requires API credentials be entered to access the catalogue.
These API credentials are used to import applications from Patch360 into your Workspace360 environment.
API credentials are provided by Rimo3 for licensed users.
Using Patch360
Once authenticated, you will be presented with the Patch360 Search experience.
From here you can either:
- Search for an application directly from the search bar, or
- Scroll down to browse the Patch360 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 Workspace360, 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.
You can also select how you want to import the application.
You can choose the level of automation that applies to the import process:
- Only import the application
- Import and then Discover that application
- Fully onboard the application only
- Onboard and validate the application against target environments.
Then find your desired application version and click on the <Onboard> button.
If the onboarding is successful you will receive the Sequence ID that you can use to track the progress, or simply navigate to Discover360 dashboard to view the progress of the import.
If you receive an error when trying to onboard an application from Patch360, check the following:
- Your Workspace360 VM is online
- Your API credentials are working correctly
- You are not trying to onboard an application version that already exists in your Workspace360 environment. If you really need to create a duplicate import, consider renaming the conflicting application in Workspace360.
If all is well, then you will see the application progressing through Discover360.
