IMPORTANT: Before configuring any ZENworks software dictionary rules, you must be aware of how to use these rules. For detailed information, see http://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks7 in the "Server Inventory" section in the http://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks7 or http://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks7 in the "Workstation Inventory" section in the http://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks7.

Specify Aliases
By default, the software information is categorized by vendor name in the Inventory ConsoleOne® utilities. The software from the same vendor might sometimes have differing vendor names or product names. In this scenario, the Inventory ConsoleOne utilities display the software information under different sections.

However, you can merge the software information by specifying aliases. You customize these settings in the following software dictionary rules:

Vendor Names Aliases
Allows you to configure aliases for vendor names.

  1. Click Edit Table.
  2. Configure the aliases in the Vendor Name Aliases table.

Software Names Aliases
Allows you to configure aliases for the software names.

  1. Click Edit Table.
  2. Configure the aliases in the Software Name Aliases table.

Reconcile Software
Provides a better merger between the software identified through Add/Remove Programs or the MSI, and the software identified through the ZENworks software dictionary. The merger might be necessary because the software entries in Add/Remove Programs or the MSI might not use the same software name and vendor as configured in the ZENworks software dictionary.

To reconcile software:

  1. Click Edit Table.
  2. Configure the Reconcile Software table.
