Downloading patch payloads to the catalog
(Microsoft Windows and Solaris) If you choose not to download the payloads at the same time as the metadata, you can download them individually or you can use the following procedure to select a group of patches and initiate download of the payload for patches that already have metadata in the patch catalog.
Tip
Use this procedure if the amount of data to download is significant and would impact performance. You can schedule the download in advance of deployment, during off-peak hours, to make more efficient use of maintenance windows.
After the patches are downloaded, you can view the results of the job run. The run date and time are displayed together with a final count of how many patches were successfully downloaded and how many failed to download. If you expand the results, individual patches are identified in Object View together with their final status.
