Usage of SUSE Manager Importer tool

The new importer binary (suse_manager_import) for SUSE Manager is located at /opt/opsware/sles_import/bin.

Run the importer binary to group all imported erratum policies into a single errata policy:

/opt/opsware/sles_import/bin/suse_manager_import --mode=all [CHANNEL_LABEL...]

The --mode option specifies what to import. The all value specifies that you want to import packages of a channel, create a Channel Software Policy in SA, import errata, and create Software Policies for each erratum.

You can also choose:

Channel imports packages from a repository and then creates a Software Policy
Erratum imports patches and create software policies
Errata imports all erratums and group them into a single software policy

By default, suse_manager_import uses a configuration file located at /etc/opt/opsware/sles_import/suse_manager.conf.

You can also specify another location for the configuration file using the --conf=FILE option.

To get the list of platforms supported by SA, run ./suse_manager_import --show_platforms.

To get the list of labels that are supported by default in SA and on your SUSE Manager Server, run ./suse_manager_import --show_labels.
