- Distributions Tree View

Download From Vendor (only for Online Mode)
If you are creating a Patch catalog to analyze which patches are missing on your targets, it is recommended that you leave the Download From Vendor check box unchecked. This recommendation ensures that only the metadata of the patches are downloaded at the time of catalog creation. You can then download the required missing patches during remediation.
However, if you want to download all patches in the at the time of catalog creation, you can select the Download From Vendor check box.
Distributions Tree View
The Distributions tree view allows you to to expand the nodes and select the Version, Base URL, Distribution, Component, and Architecture of patches that you want to add to the catalog. See the screenshot below for an example of the Distributions tree view.
