Why am I seeing Error parsing inventory data from file

error message while creating the new repository for CMC

Inventory?

There can be three different scenarios, where user encounters with this error message:

1. If the user does not have the proper administrative rights, DRM does not fetches the files from the CMC folder. The error

message is displayed. This error blocks the new repository creation process.

2. If the inventory file is stored in any of the network share, and if DRM is not able to connect to that particular network share

this error is displayed.

3. If the inventory file is in read-only format, DRM fails to fetch those files and the error message is displayed, the repository

creation process fails.

While using OME, why is the component getting updated

when it is removed from a particular bundle?

OME uses all the components that are within a Repository, it does not organize the updates by Bundles. To insure that the

Repository used by OME does not contain the update be sure to select the Remove from Repository option when deleting an

update. In case, if you are using the catalog created by DRM with OME, OME does not recognize the bundles separately, it just

recognizes the entire catalog as one single file. This is how OME works. At any time, if you remove a component from the OME

bundle but not from the Repository then OME contemplates that the components is still there and compares it against the

available updates.

The database is corrupted or invalid. How do I fix this?

To fix the database:

1. Remove the corrupted database before you recreate a new database. Navigate to %localappdata%

\RepositoryManager\Database\RepositoryManager.sdf to delete the database.

2. After the database is removed, restart the Dell Repository Manager.

A new database is created.
