Import updates from a catalog into the Updates Publisher repository.

Delete (remove) a catalog from Updates Publisher.

In addition to adding catalogs, and viewing information about subscribed catalogs, you can: To manually check for a catalog update, select the catalog from the My Software Update Catalogs list and then choose Refresh from the ribbon. When configured, Updates Publisher references the download URL or location information for the subscription and alerts you when there are changes to the catalog that were made since the last time you imported it to the repository. This is configured as an Advanced option. Updates Publisher can automatically check your subscriptions for changes each time it starts. Information includes the download URL or location, the name of the company or organization who created the catalog, and when it was last imported or modified. Information about each subscribed catalog is available in the console.

Adds the catalog to a list in the My Software Update Catalogs window of the Catalogs Workspace.

Creates a subscription to that catalog, so it can check for updates to that catalog.

When you add a catalog, Updates Publisher: You must add an update catalog to Updates Publisher before you can manage the updates that it contains. Catalogs that you create, and that are not registered with Microsoft, are called user catalogs. Registered catalogs from software vendors are called partner catalogs. Other organizations include your own organization and third-party software vendors that have registered their catalogs with Microsoft. Software update catalogs contain information about related updates that are created by organizations other than Microsoft.

This includes adding new catalogs, managing existing catalog subscriptions, and importing information about the updates from a catalog to the Updates Publisher repository. Use the Catalogs Workspace to manage software update catalogs. Applies to: System Center Updates Publisher
