Bulk Upload of Local Apps

This process allows you to do a bulk upload of your Enterprise Applications that you maintain the installers for, or a list of verified or custom list of installers that you maintain on your file servers. Once you upload a manifest (in .csv format), Fetch will validate some basic information (entered data is complete, data types are correct, files exist) and then uploads the installer and creates the associated Native App in UEM.

The main aspect of this process is that you specify a local file path (that the Fetch Application can access) of the installers you want to upload to UEM, along with all the required metadata that is needed to add the Application to the App Catalog. This workflow does not use any of the metadata within the Fetch Database.

Here is an example of the contents of the manifest template:

These columns correlate to the metadata required by the Workspace ONE Application API/Console.

There are also now additional options in the manifest templates that allows you to change any or all of the available configuration options that are available in the UEM Console UI. This means you can enter all the custom information needed to deploy and install the application directly in the manifest.

The manifest template is now saved as a .xslx file, and where there are multiple choice options for configuration settings, they are shown in a dropdown inside this spreadsheet allowing simpler and more accurate manifests.

Important

You need to ensure you still save as or export your manifest as a .csv file.

See here for an Example Local Applications Manifest for you to enter the relevant data in to.
