Issue Details

I have added a package to SystemLink and want to deploy it to my client system. However, the client does not display the package as available for installation. How can I fix this?
I am trying to install software on my client PC from the SystemLink web interface, but I cannot see the packages that I want to install.

Solution

This issue can occur if the package feed has not been properly configured, or if the available packages are not filtered correctly. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem.

Ensure that the client has access to the package by creating a Package Repository.
- Refer to SystemLink Documentation: Enabling Client Access to Packages for instructions.
- Note: when creating a new repository, ensure that the Workspace and Platform Type match your client system.
Verify that the package feed has been added to the client system.
- Instructions can be found in SystemLink Documentation: Deploying Packages to Clients.
- If the feed has already been added, scroll through the feeds list and verify that the required feed is Enabled in the Status column.
Filter the available packages.
1. Select your client system from the Systems Management page.
2. Navigate to the Software >> Available tab.
3. Click the View drop-down menu and uncheck Products Only (option 1 shown in the image below).
4. If the package still does not appear in the Available list, enter the name of the package in the Filter input (option 2 shown in the image below).
