Software Catalog Data Provider enhances Notification Server's ability to identify the software that has been detected on the managed computers in your environment. It uses rules to identify software that otherwise could not be identified. It can then automatically import data into the Software Catalog to create a software resource for the software. After it creates a software resource in the Software Catalog, you can add package resources along with other software information. You can then create policies or tasks that deliver or manage this software on the managed computers in your environment.
Software Catalog Data Provider is needed to identify software in the following instances:
- The information that identifies the software cannot be gathered from Add/Remove Programs.
- The software is identified as a suite, and you need to identify a specific product in the suite.
- The software is identified as a product, and you need to identify the suite.
