Configure Global Catalog Settings

Use global catalog settings to determine how core system definitions are retrieved. Global catalog settings are configured in CSM Administrator > System Settings > Catalog.

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.

Setting	Description
Store Primary System Definition in a Local Catalog File on Users' Machines	Select this option to retrieve core system definitions from the server when the Desktop Client is initially launched, and then store them in a local definition catalog file. Definitions do not need to be retrieved again unless a Blueprint is published.
Allow Users to Decide Whether or Not to Use a Definition Catalog	Select this option to allow users to override the above default and set their own personal datalog defaults in the Desktop Client (Tools > Options > General).
Invalidate all Current Catalogs	Select this option to force all local catalog files to be built the next time each user starts a CSM application.
