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.
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 Errata 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 errata only on the Satellite, since the Proxy servers receive updates
directly from it. Managing 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 2, “Managed Errata Details” for a full
explanation of this area.
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 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.
1.2. Unpublished Errata
The Unpublished Errata page appears when you click Unpublished below Manage Errata in
the left navigation bar. It displays the errata alerts your organization has created but not yet
distributed.
To edit an existing unpublished errata, follow the steps described in Section 3, “Creating and
Editing Errata”. To publish the errata, click Publish Errata on the top-right corner of the Errata
Details page. You then need to confirm the channels associated with the errata and click the
Publish Errata button, now in the lower-right corner. The errata alert is shifted to the Published
page awaiting distribution.
