Advanced: Click Advanced to display the Edit Catalogs/Groups page to display a list of
the catalogs and groups that contain the selected bundle. You can click Add to open the
Select Groups dialog box to add the selected bundle to existing catalogs or groups. You
can also remove a bundle or group by clicking the check box next to the
Name column,
then clicking Remove to remove the bundle from that catalog or group.
Add: Click Add to open the Select Groups dialog box, then click the blue arrow in the
Select column to select the desired catalog or group and display its name in the Selected
list box.
Remove: Select the device by clicking the check box next to the appropriate catalog or
bundle name, then click Remove to remove the selected bundle from the catalog or group.
3 Click the Details tab, then make the desired configuration changes.
Use the Details page to view detailed information about the selected bundle, such as the
bundle's version number, name and display name, folder, description, a list of the individual
RPM packages that make up the bundle, and the distribution/installation/uninstallation scripts
that the bundle will use.
You can also use the options on this page to deploy a different version of the selected bundle to
assigned devices, delete a particular version of the bundle, add or remove packages from the
bundle, and change the script engine and scripts that you want to use for the bundle.
3a Review the information in the RPM Package Bundle Settings section, then make the
desired configuration changes.
Version: Displays the selected bundle's version number. You can have multiple versions
of the same bundle. If you make any configuration changes on this page (changing the
display name or description, adding a package to or removing a package from the bundle,
or adding or modifying a script), the version number increments. You can use the
Version
drop-down list to view the details of each version of the selected bundle. Text below the
Version box informs you which version of the bundle is deployed on assigned devices.
Deploy: Lets you deploy a different version of the currently deployed bundle. Use the
Version drop-down list to select the desired version number, then click Deploy .
Only one version of a bundle can be deployed at any given time. For example, suppose a
bundle has multiple versions: 1, 2, and 3. If version 1 is currently deployed, all associated
devices have version 1 of the bundle deployed. If you then make version 3 the deployed
version, all devices with version 1 deployed and still associated to that bundle will be
automatically upgraded to version 3.
Delete: Lets you delete a version of the currently deployed bundle. Use the Version drop-
down list to select the desired version number, then click Delete .
Copy: Lets you copy a version of the selected bundle. Use the Version drop-down list to
select the desired version number, then click Copy . You can then alter the settings of the
copied version to create a new version of the bundle.
If you create a copy of the YOU patch bundle, the copied version is converted to the RPM
package bundle type. Before deploying the RPM package bundle to the device, you must
remove the patch RPMs from the bundle. However, you cannot install the copied version
of the YOU patch bundle if it contains only scripts.
Display name: Displays the name that displays for users when they update software. The
display name, which can be more intuitive for users, was provided when the bundle was
created. You can edit the display name.
