Dell Repository Manager Data Center Version 2.2 User’s Guide

Setting up a Source Catalog from the DRM welcome page

1. Launch the Dell Repository Manager.
   NOTE: The check box allows you to opt for the option to Display the Welcome tab at application startup.
2. In the Getting Started section, you have the option to Populate the Database and Create a New Repository. There are two different ways to populate the database.
   1. Sync Database with Dell Online Catalog — You can populate the DRM database with the help of the latest Dell Online catalog. If you have updated to the latest DRM version on a system (that had DRM v1.5 or greater), you can sync the database and update it to the latest version of the catalog using this feature.
   2. Sync Database with Local Source Catalog — If you have a local copy of the Dell Online Catalog, which can be accessed by DRM (from Application > Settings > Source Repository), then use this option to populate the DRM database.
3. Create a New Repository — The New Repository wizard helps you with the options to create repertories using DRM.
4. On the Welcome window, you can view New Dell Online in the upright corners, if the latest Dell online catalog is available. Click New Dell Online.
   You can populate the DRM database with the help of latest Dell Online Catalog.
   DRM dialog box is displayed. It may take few seconds before it proceed further. It displays the following status:

   • Reading Catalog
   • Writing data to database
   • Archiving files
   • Checking for any errors
   • You can click Cancel anytime, to exit without making any changes.

   NOTE: Archiving files option appears if there is a change in the local source catalog file.
