How to get Software Center or System Center 2012 Application Catalog website?

Hi, 

am using SCCM 2012 R2 to to side load windows apps.

I took the appx package and i added in the application and i deployed the app.

I cant not find Software Center in my PC.

They mentioned like if i open the Software center there i can able to see my app listed in that or

if i go to System Center 2012 Application Catalog website. there i can be able to see the app listed.

How do i get  Software center or How to go to System Center 2012 Application Catalog website?

Any help on this please?

I followed the below article to deploy the app.

I took the appx package and i added in the application and i deployed the app. -  You deployed the app to user collection or device collection ?. During the app deployment you should choose AVAILABLE as deployment option so that it can be see in SC (if deployed to device) or app catalog (if deployed to user). If you are looking for deploying apps to user then you can follow this post

How do i get  Software center or How to go to System Center 2012 Application Catalog website? - Open the software center on the client machine and click on find additional applications from the app catalog.  Refer the below screenshot.

"I took the appx package and i added in the application and i deployed the app."

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Software Center is installed with the ConfigMgr client agent and is not a modern app so there is no such thing as an appx for it and the App Catalog is a web site so there is nothing to install.

Have you installed the ConfigMgr client agent on the system?

@Santhosh - When you install the SCCM client agent, the software center is also installed along with it.

Hi, I just sent you 2 links, you need to push the client agent via SCCM console. Go through the below 2 links.

check if you have configured boundary, boundary group correctly.

Check if you have associated the DP to the boundary group.

Check appenforce.log file on the client machine to see about errors.
