Integrating with Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT)

AdminStudio 11.5 | Application Manager

Edition: Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions. Support for integration with a Microsoft ACT database is included in the Application Compatibility Pack.

You can integrate Application Manager Test Center with your Microsoft ACT (Application Compatibility Toolkit) database and display ACT test results. ACT is used to create an inventory of an organization’s installed applications, computers, and devices, and to identify and resolve compatibility issues.

To enable AdminStudio to display data from your Microsoft ACT database in Test Center views and reports, perform the following steps.

To view Microsoft ACT data in Test Center views and reports:

1. Enter connection information for your Microsoft ACT database on the Microsoft ACT tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box, as described in Entering Microsoft ACT Database Connection Settings.
2. Open the Test Center tab
3. Select a package in the tree that also has associated information in the ACT Database. The Test Center Deployment Type View opens.
4. Open the ACT Summary tab. Results from the ACT database are displayed:

5. Open the Report Center tab.
6. Under Application Catalog Dashboards in the ribbon, select Microsoft ACT Results. The Microsoft ACT Results report opens.

7. Review these results, as described in the Microsoft ACT documentation.
