# Viewing App-V Server Publishing Metadata
Use this procedure to view publishing metadata, which can help you resolve publishing-related issues. You must be using the App-V Management server to use this procedure.
This article contains the following information:
- [App-V 5.0 SP3 requirements for viewing publishing metadata](#bkmk-50sp3-reqs-pub-meta)
- [Syntax to use for viewing publishing metadata](#bkmk-syntax-view-pub-meta)
- [Query values for client operating system and version](#bkmk-values-query-pub-meta)
- [Definition of publishing metadata](#bkmk-whatis-pub-metadata)
## <a href="" id="bkmk-50sp3-reqs-pub-meta"></a>App-V 5.0 SP3 requirements for viewing publishing metadata
In App-V 5.0 SP3, you must provide the following values in the address when you query the App-V Publishing server for metadata:
<table>
<colgroup>
<col width="50%" />
<col width="50%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th align="left">Value</th>
<th align="left">Additional details</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p><strong>ClientVersion</strong></p></td>
<td align="left"><p>If you omit the <strong>ClientVersion</strong> parameter from the query, the metadata excludes the new App-V 5.0 SP3 features.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p><strong>ClientOS</strong></p></td>
<td align="left"><p>You have to provide this value only if you select specific client operating systems when you sequence the package. If you select the default (all operating systems), do not specify this value in the query.</p>
<p>If you omit the <strong>ClientOS</strong> parameter from the query, only the packages that were sequenced to support any operating system appear in the metadata.</p></td>
</tr>

<p>To get the name of the Publishing server and the port number (http://&lt;PubServer&gt;:&lt;Publishing Port#&gt;) from the App-V Client, look at the URL configuration of the <strong>Get-AppvPublishingServer</strong> PowerShell cmdlet.</p></td>

## <a href="" id="bkmk-whatis-pub-metadata"></a>Definition of publishing metadata
When packages are published to a computer that is running the App-V client, metadata is sent to that computer indicating which packages and connection groups are being published. The App-V Client makes two separate requests for the following:
- Packages and connection groups that are entitled to the client computer.
- Packages and connection groups that are entitled to the current user.
The Publishing server communicates with the Management server to determine which packages and connection groups are available to the requester. The Publishing server must be registered with the Management server in order for the metadata to be generated.
You can view the metadata for each request in an Internet browser by using a query that is in the context of the specific user or computer.
