Creating and updating AIX patch catalogs

A patch catalog creates and maintains objects in the console that represent patches. A catalog interacts with vendor repositories over the Internet, or, in an air-gapped environment without Internet access, you can download the patches to a local repository and create the patch catalog in offline mode. In either case, you can organize the patches in a catalog by defining smart groups.
