Hi, I've followed the instruction on how Update powershell app deployment toolit. https://docs.flexera.com/adminstudio2022r2sp1/Content/helplibrary/UpdatePowerApp.htm#applicationcatalogs_3719179812_3150904 However the variable {UnInstallPackage} is not reflecting the correct value when replaced. it translate to a mix of {InstallPackage} and {UnInstallPackage} i.e. Execute-Process -path "$dirFiles\apache-tomcat-10.1.7.exe""$dirFiles\Uninstall.exe" -Parameters "/S -ServiceName=""Tomcat10""" as you can see from above the commandline to install is appended by the commandline to uninstall. Is this a known issue? Thanks. Cheers, Man

Hi Team, Hope everyone is doing well. Could you please take a look at the Docker Installer from Package Feed Module. I tried to install it using command-line and got the below error.

Our automation is composed of 3 parts. PFM, AutoPackage Script and Jira. I used PFM to automatically fetch/download new versions of vendor installer. I use script to monitor that download, package and import to SCCM. I use Jira to monitor and trigger automations too. out environment is full of customization which I tried to use build-in feature of PFM/Application Manager however our environment needs are much more complicated thus I use script to drive the automation. Having said that, I need the Install/Uninstall script so I can feed it to my automation. the way it will go would be... FPM downloads the new installers and then pass the Install/Uninstall commandline to my automation that will package/wrapped/import in SCCM then integrate with Jira. I wonder if "Distribution System" then Custom Distribution Plugin then I'll create a script file that will trigger my automation and at the same time pass/feed my automation with the install/uninstall commandline from script parameter? Is there variable I can use as script parameter that holds the install/uninstall commandline?

Hi Team, Hope everything is good :). I have a question. I have used Backlog/PFM to automatically download the installer and its works wonders for our automation. Our automation is composed of 3 components Backlog/Package Feed Module, Connector (bridge between PFM and Jira) and Jira Automation. My concern is on the 1st component. PFM auto downloads the installer and then imports to App Catalog, how can I extract/get the Install and Uninstall Command of a certain downloaded installer? i.e. Zoom got automatically downloaded as part of my automation the downloaded installer will be package by my automation however it needs the install and uninstall commandline.

normanperez · ‎Feb 28, 2023

cool... thanks for the clarification. I'll handle the extraction via script. 🙂

Hi Team, I tried to download "PostgreSQL ODBC (x64) v13.02.0000" however its in ZIP format, I have to unzip it to get the MSI. Is there a reason why its ZIP and not as simple extracted MSI? I asked because I'm automating it and I need a direct download in MSI format. Having it on a zip file means I have to manually extract it. Please advise. Thanks. Cheers, Man

normanperez · ‎Feb 23, 2023

It's downloading now!!! thank you so much 🙂

Hi Team, As describe in the subject Package Feed Module can't download Winzip 64Bit (even the 32Bit is not downloading either) however, works on other applications. Please advise. Thanks. Cheers, Man

Hi Team, I've setup my subscriptions and they are working properly when executed manually. I'm now trying to make the process automated, I was informed that if you have a subscribed item under "Backlog" and have the automation scheduled accordingly it will process whatever automation you had configured. However, in order for the above to work I need to have Application Manager open/running all the time. I have it on a windows server and I would like the automation to happen even if I'm NOT logged-in to it. I've used task scheduler to run ISCMIDE.exe, set it to "run whether user is logged or not" then "run with "highest privileges". Set it to run midnight. NOTE: I have set my schedule automation in Application Manager to run 5mins after my scheduled task executed. Nothing happened, the new version was not downloaded and NOT imported in my Catalog. I logged-in to my server and had verified that ISCMIDE.exe and AdmihnStudioHost are both running as Background Processes. Appreciate if someone can help me run this successfully on my server. Thank you.

@moconn I do understand that each organization requires their own customization. For ours, controlling the requirement with a collection query is resource intensive as it runs regularly to update your dynamic collection contents. The OS requirement I mentioned is needed for an Application Object to be visible in Software Center without that the package will NOT appear. Yes, you are correct we can use PS to manage the OS requirements, Collections and Deployments. Thank you.

normanperez · ‎Nov 02, 2022

@moconn thank you for the support... the "Backlog" looks promising. Let me play with that feature and see if that will suit our organization's needs. I'm off to another adventure 🙂 Cheers...

Hi, I have AdminStudio 2022 and Package Feed Module licensed/activated/installed and working properly. I can also import/Publish to SCCM. I'm looking into automating package feed module import, etc. I've seen the blog discussing about "PFM_Automation.ps1" which definitely exactly what I need. It's mentioned that we can do zero touch and have this run regularly. Question - How are we going to get "PFM_Automation.ps1" run in a regular basis. Is it integrated in AdminStudio? Is there any technical documentation with regards to this? I'm running AdminStudio and Package Feed Module on a MS Windows Server 2019 Standard. I can't remain logged in just to run the script on a regular interval. There's only a certain time that I can remain logged-in to the server then if that expires it will kick my session automatically. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using Licensed/Activated AS 2022 and have a working Application Catalog, Package Feed Module and Connection to our Organization's SCCM. I'm able to distribute both Package Object and Application Object in SCCM. I'm aware that I can set the OS requirement Deployment Types > Requirements. However, is there a way that every time I import a software/package in the Catalog it will automatically assign a OS requirement like Windows 10 64 Bit? Also, where can I input the details for the Collection Name and Deployment Name? I noticed that these are NOT created Automatically after distribution. Thanks in advance.

Hi, In our environment we are following standards to properly monitor and manage all applications across multiple regions (globally). I know this may sound simple as these are just naming conventions. However we uses them for Package folder name and folder structure, SCCM deployment, SCCM Collections, etc. I have configured Package Feed Module to download package in a folder with this format [Vendor]\[Vendor]_[ProductName]_[Version] and it worked. My concern is that Vendor name and Product name contains spaces. How can remove the spaces? Related to the above, I would like to manage the application Catalog by Vendor Name. Is there a way in Package Feed Module to place the imported application in their respective group (Vendor Name)- if exist places it in the group else NOT create a new group named after Vendor Name? Thanks so much in advance.

This issue is now resolved. We had identified that there's another firewall blocking the URL. After whitelisting is properly we are now able to query and download/import from Package Feed Module.
