Organizing a patch catalog for AIX using smart groups
Smart groups organize and filter content within a patch catalog. You can use smart groups to include or exclude patches in AIX Patching and Remediation Jobs. Use the following procedure to create a new smart group.
In version 8.2, many additional default smart group properties were added to patch catalogs.
To create a smart group to organize a patch catalog
- In the console's Folder view, right-click the patch catalog name and select New > Patch Catalog Smart Group.
- On the General panel:
- In the Name field, type a descriptive name for the smart group.
- (Optional) Provide a description in the Description field.
- Verify the path shown in the Member of field. If it is not the correct patch catalog, browse to the catalog for which you are defining this smart group.
- Set the criteria for the smart group.
The following example show way to define a smart group that includes all Filsets with reboot property as true.
- Click Finish. (You are accepting the default settings on the remaining wizard pages.) The wizard creates the new smart group in the location specified in the Member of field.
- In the Folders view, double-click the new smart group name to view its contents.
The following example shows the results of the smart group defined previously in Example , using the REBOOT.
