Chapter 5.
Custom Errata Management
Custom errata enables you to issue errata alerts for the packages in your custom channels.
All errata management activities take place in the
Errata
tab of the RHN website. The
instructions here are used in conjunction with the RHN website chapter of the
Red Hat
Network Reference Guide
.
5.1. Manage Errata
In addition to the buttons and pages available to standard RHN Management-level users,
RHN Satellite Server and RHN Proxy Server customers also have access to
Manage Er-
rata
in the left navigation bar. This button opens the
Errata Management
interface, where
all custom errata management work occurs.
Warning
If you are using both RHN Proxy Server and RHN Satellite Server, you must manage er-
rata only on the Satellite, since the Proxy servers receive updates directly from it. Manag-
ing errata on a Proxy in this combined configuration risks putting your servers out-of-sync.
Clicking on an advisory within the
Errata Management
list takes you to the
Details
tab
of the
Managed Errata Details
page. Refer to Section 5.2
Managed Errata Details
for a
full explanation of this area.
5.1.1. Published Errata
The
Published Errata
page is shown by default when you click
Manage Errata
in the left
navigation bar. It displays the errata alerts your organization has created and disseminated.
To edit an existing published errata, follow the steps described in
Section 5.3
Creating and Editing Errata
. To distribute the errata, click
Send Notification
on the top-right corner of the
Errata Details
page. The errata alert is sent to the
administrators of all affected systems.
