Downloading the offline patch downloader utility for Ubuntu and Debian

From the BMC Software Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) website, download and extract the installer package that is appropriate for your operating system. The offline downloader utilities are located in the \files\installers\other_files directory of the BBSA<version>-<platform>64 installer package. For information about downloading files from the EPD website, see Downloading-the-installation-files.

The offline downloader utilities are located inside the All-OS-Patch-Downloaders- <platform> - <build> . <extension> package, where:

  • <platform> is the supported platform on which you can run the utilities.
  • <build> is the version number.
  • <extension> is the appropriate extension of the compressed file (.tar.gz or .zip).

For offline patching for Ubuntu or Debian, you must extract the contents of All-OS-Patch-Downloaders-linux-86.tar.gz. 

Depending on what version of TrueSight Server Automation you are using, you will need the following files:

  • sample-debian-downloader-config.xml - Sample configuration file that you can edit and use based on your requirements 
  • debian_downloader.bat - Offline downloader that runs on a Windows machine
  • debian_downloader .sh - Offline downloader that runs on a UNIX machine


Note

If you are running the offline downloader on a UNIX machine, ensure that you use the sh command. If you are not using the sh command to run the offline downloader, ensure that you have executable permissions (755) to run the script.
