Dell Command | Cloud Repository Manager
Release Notes
The Cloud Repository Manager is a cloud-based application that allows IT administrators to create and manage one or more
custom catalogs for updates to the Dell client systems within their environment. System updates include updates to drivers,
firmware, BIOS, and some Dell applications.
For IT teams spread across multiple offices, work environments, and time zones, the Cloud Repository Manager console
provides a centralized library of saved custom catalogs. IT teams can collaborate and access shared catalogs regardless of
location, saving time and effort and ensuring consistency in the update process.
New Features and Functionality v1.6
Cloud Repository Manager v1.6 has no new features.
Release Notes v1.6
● Currently, in Catalog Management, if an administrator selects Test > Change to Production, a spinner in the Status column
indicates a download is being created. Production > Download should cause the Download Catalog dialog to display but,
instead, the Status column indicates a duplicate download is being created. The administrator must select Production >
Download again. [DCRM-2557]
Resolved Release Notes v1.6
● On the Catalog Management page, an issue is resolved with the periodic sync of the latest Dell published updates so that
selecting Production > Create Draft, the catalog definition now obtains the latest drivers.
● An issue is resolved when selecting Create Draft for a new catalog or a Production version so that the Draft completes and
does not fail. [DCRM-2204]
● An issue is resolved where, occasionally, an internal server error displayed when an administrator tried to download the .xml
file from a Production catalog. [DCRM-2204]
● An issue is resolved so that if a Draft has zero or one components, the Draft catalog is still created and is available for
download. [DCRM-2211, DCRM-2319, DCRM-2457]
● An issue is resolved so that if an administrator creates a large catalog or edits components of a large catalog, multiple Draft
instances do not display for the same catalog. [DCRM-2221]
● An issue is resolved on the software component page, so that the Save Changes button cannot be selected multiple times.
[DCRM-2221]
New Features and Functionality v1.5
Cloud Repository Manager v1.5 has the following features and functionality:
● When editing a catalog definition, the IT administrator cannot deselect previously selected operating systems. Previously
selected operating system options are greyed out.
Release Notes v1.5
● Although forty models are usually possible when creating a catalog, occasionally a larger number of models results in an
error. The workaround is to create two catalogs, each with a smaller number of models. [DCRM-2142]
