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 — Data Center Version
• DellRepositoryManager_Client.svclog — Business Client Version
The log file is located at C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\ Local\RepositoryManager\Log.
I see an update present in dell.com/support but when I
install the repository from ftp.dell.com using the Dell
Repository Manager, I do not see that update.
The Dell online repository, which is supported by Dell OpenManage, is released monthly and is qualified
by the Dell testing process. Occasionally, updates may be available on dell.com/support before the
contents of the repository on ftp.dell.com are updated. The new dell.com/support 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?
1. Select a repository and click the Components tab.
2. From the Display from bundles drop-down list, select Unassigned Components. The Dell
Repository Manager displays the unassigned components.
NOTE:
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 criteria from Filter <Bundles/Components>
by: list: You can edit the filter criteria for these features or specify new criteria.
