Get started

Using SA Patch Importer for Oracle Enterprise Linux encompasses the following tasks:

  1. Edit the configuration file, /etc/opt/opsware/patch_importer/uln_import.conf, to provide the requirement information.
  2. Register the system with the ULN.
  3. Log on to the ULN to subscribe the channels.
  4. Import the packages.

The first three tasks should be done once, or infrequently. The forth task, importing the packages, can be scheduled on a recurring basis.

Note
This tool must be run as root user on a core host.
