NOTE: The use of regular expressions (regexes) has changed in ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management.
ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management does not use wildcard character matching. In ZENworks Linux
Management 6.6.
x , you can use a wildcard expression string instead of a regular expression string.
In ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management, you should use
<Bundle>patch-.*</Bundle>
to mirror all
bundles with the name starting with “patch-”. ZENworks Linux Management supports all the Java
regular expressions. For more information on the Java regular expressions, see the
Java
documentation (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html) .
25.3.2 Creating a Configuration File by Using the xzlmmirror
Utility
The xzlmmirror utility is a graphical user interface that lets you to create or edit the mirror
configuration files, and store it in an XML file that is compatible with the existing zlmmirror utility.
The file consists of the configuration information for the remote servers, proxy servers, local
servers, and catalogs.
Do the following tasks in the order listed to create a configuration file:
1. “Configuring the Servers” on page 301
2. “Configuring the Catalogs” on page 302
You can also edit the configuration file. For more information, see “Editing the Configuration File”
on page 305 .
Category Restricts the mirroring operation on the catalog to the specified categories of
patch bundles. If the category is not specified, all patch bundles are mirrored.
Valid values are recommended, optional, and security. This tag is applicable
only for the NU type servers of SLES 10, SLED 10, and OES 2.
ServicePackGroups Accepts Boolean values (true or false) only. By default
<ServicePackGroups>
is set to true, and it automatically creates bundle
groups. This option is supported for YOU patches only
AutoDeploy Mirroring the packages to existing bundle creates a newer version of the
bundle and deploys it on the server. If AutoDeploy is set to false, then the
mirroring operation restricts the deployment of the newer bundle. Accepts only
the boolean values (true or false). By default, the option is set to true
CreateMonolithicBundle Automatically creates monolithic package bundles consisting of only latest
package rpms. It creates a separate monolithic bundle for each Service Pack
release, and a separate monolithic bundle with the updates after the latest
Service Pack release. It accepts Boolean values (true or false) only. By default
the option is set to true. This option is supported for YOU patches only.
FilterPatchRPM Restricts the mirroring operation of the YOU patch bundles to filter all the
packages of the
.patch.rpm
type. This option creates an equivalent RPM
package bundle in the local server. Accepts only the Boolean values (true or
false). By default, the option is set to false. This option is supported only for
the YOU patches.
If the option is set to true, it filters the scripts of type
.sh
along with the
.patch.rpm packages while mirroring YaST patches.
