Patching Job - Analysis Options for Debian

A Patching Job checks the configuration of patches on specific servers according to filters defined as part of the job definition.

  1. Choose from one of the following options:
    • Analyze for missing patches and updates available for installed patches on a target server (Install Mode)
    • Analyze only for updates available for installed patches on a target server (Update Mode)
  2. Create an Include/Exclude list for specific patches through the Include-or-Exclude-Selection dialog box, to override the default of including the entire patch catalog in the analysis.

Note

Depending on which mode you have selected, you cannot perform the following operations:

  • If Install Mode is selected, you cannot exclude a patch or smart group.
  • If Update Mode is selected, you cannot include a patch or smart group.
