4.6.1.3. Software Channel Details
If you click on the name of a channel, the
Software Channel Details
page will appear. This page
contains the following tabs:
•
Details
— General information about the channel and the parent channel, if it is a child channel.
This is the first tab you see when you click on a channel. It displays essential information about
the channel, such as summary, description, and architecture. In addition, a Globally Subscribable
checkbox can be seen by Organization Administrators and Channel Administrators. This signifies
the default behavior of every channel allowing any user to subscribe systems to it. Unchecking this
box and clicking
Update
causes the appearance of a
Subscribers
tab, which may then be used to
grant certain users subscription permissions to the channel.
Only customers with custom base channels may change their systems’ base channel assignment.
They may do this through the website in two ways:
•
The customer has its own base channel and it is assigning the system to that new base channel.
•
The customer has its own base channel and, having assigned a system to this base channel, it
subsequently reverts the system to its original distribution-based base channel.
•
Subscribers
— List of users who have subscription permissions to the channel. This tab appears
on two conditions: First, the logged in user must be an Organization Administrator or a Channel
Administrator. Second, the Globally Subscribable checkbox on the
Details
tab must be unchecked,
thereby making the channel subscribable by user. On this tab, select the checkboxes of the users to
be allowed to subscribe systems to this channel and click
Update
. Note that Organization Admin-
istrators and Channel Administrators automatically have subscription access to all channels.
•
Errata
— List of Errata affecting the channel. The list displays advisory types, names, summaries,
and the dates issued. Clicking on an advisory name takes you to its
Errata Details
page. Refer to
Section 4.5.2.2
Errata Details
for more information.
•
Packages
— List of packages in the channel. To download packages as a .tar file, select them and
click the
Download Packages
button at the bottom-left corner of the page. Clicking on a package
name takes you to the
Package Details
page. This page displays a set of tabs with information
about the package, including which architectures it runs on, the package size, build date, package
dependencies, the change log, list of files in the package, newer versions, and which systems have
the package installed. From here, you can download the packages as RPMs or SRPMs. Refer to
Section 4.6.5.3
Package Details
for more information.
If you are looking for a specific package or a subset of packages, you can use the package filter
on the top of the list. Entering a substring to search for will search all the packages in the list for
the substring at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the package name. For example,
typing
ks
in the filter might return all the
ksconfig
,
krb5-workstation
, and
links
. The filter
is case-insensitive.
•
Subscribed Systems
— List of entitled systems subscribed to the channel. The list displays system
names, base channels, and their levels of entitlement. Clicking on a system name takes you to its
System Details
page. Refer to Section 4.4.2.6
System Details
for more information. If it is a child
channel, you will also have the option within this tab of unsubscribing systems from the channel.
Use the checkboxes to select the systems, then click the
Unsubscribe
button on the bottom right-
hand corner.
•
Target Systems
— List of entitled systems that are eligible to be subscribed to the channel. This tab
appears only for child channels. Use the checkboxes to select the systems, then click the
Subscribe
button on the bottom right-hand corner. You will receive a success message or be notified of any
errors. This can also be accomplished through the
Channels
tab of the
System Details
page. Refer
to Section 4.4.2.6
System Details
for more information.
