Frequently Asked Questions
This section lists some frequently asked questions about Dell Repository Manager.
Where is the Dell Repository Manager runtime log located?
Dell Repository Manager creates two log files at runtime:
• DellRepositoryManager_Server.svclog is for Data Center Version
• DellRepositoryManager_Client.svclog is for Business Client Version
The log file is located in (C):\Users\<user name>\AppData\ Local\RepositoryManager\Log
I see an update present in www.dell.com/support but when I load
the repository from ftp.dell.com using Dell Repository Manager, I do
not see that update.
The Dell online repository, which is supported by Dell OpenManage, is released quarterly and is qualified by the Dell
testing process. Occasionally, updates may be available on www.dell.com/support before the contents of the repository
on ftp.dell.com are updated. The new Search Dell Support Site feature of Dell Repository Manager can search the latest
update(s) from the Dell support site. You can use Dell Repository Manager to add the new updates into your repository.
How do I view the unassigned components in a repository?
Select a repository and click the Components tab. From the Selected Bundles drop-down list on the right side, select
UnAssigned Components. Dell Repository Manager displays the unassigned components. The UnAssigned Components
option is not displayed if the repository does not have any unassigned components.
How do I edit the search criteria of the filter that I created.
In the left pane of Dell Repository Manager, select the filter whose criteria you want to edit from the drop-down list
located above the Keyword Search field. The features for which you specified the criteria are marked with * and
highlighted in green color. You can edit the filter criteria for these features or specify new criteria.
Can Dell Repository Manager be run through a Proxy Server?
Yes, install Dell Repository Manager inside the firewall and connect to a catalog located outside the firewall
(ftp.dell.com or a local repository) through a proxy server. You can use the proxy server settings of Internet Explorer. You
can then use Dell Repository Manager to customize the catalog as per the requirement and store the customized
catalog inside the firewall.
