Submitted Content. The administrator reviews submitted content and, if required, edits the content and modifies the pricing and category assignments. The administrator can accept or reject the content.

Published Content. After accepting the content, the administrator publishes the content to make it available to the Vending Manager.

Categories. Content categories are central to content management. They are logical containers or buckets that hold the content managed by the Sun Java System Content Delivery Server. The Catalog Manager uses content categories to control Vending Manager access.

See “Managing Content” on page 13 for more information.

As a Catalog Manager administrator, you can add new devices, delete devices no longer supported, and edit the characteristics and capabilities of any device model. “Managing Devices” on page 68 describes how to manage the devices supported for your network.
