Configure Global Catalog Settings
Use global catalog settings to determine how core system definitions are retrieved. Global catalog settings are configured in CSM Administrator .
When the CSM Desktop Client is initially launched, core system definitions are retrieved from the server and stored in a local catalog file. Definitions do not need to be retrieved again unless a Blueprint is published. You can configure how users receive updated definitions.
