I have registered an RPM package with the yum repository server, but the RPM package does not appear in the patch list in the management console.
Applicable version and level
Windows version: V15.1.0 or later
Linux version: V15.1.0 or later
Action method
The infrastructure administrator should take the following actions:
Execute discovery if discovery was not executed after the RPM package was registered with the yum repository server. Then, perform the following operations as well:
Registering the RPM package with the Linux patch management target definitions
Check if the RPM package that was registered with the yum repository server has been registered with the Linux patch management target definitions. If not, register the patch with the Linux patch management target definitions by executing the swcfmg_patch_importrpmpolicy command (the Linux patch management target definition import command). Refer to the Reference Guide for information on the swcfmg_patch_importrpmpolicy command (the Linux patch management target definition import command).
How to check whether the RPM package has been registered with the Linux patch management target definitions
Export the Linux patch management target definitions by executing the swcfmg_patch_exportrpmpolicy command (the Linux patch management target definition export command). Refer to the Reference Guide for information on the swcfmg_patch_exportrpmpolicy command (the Linux patch management target definition export command).
Check whether the RPM package that has been registered is included in the Linux patch management target definition information that was exported in Step 1. Refer to "Linux Patch Management Target Configuration File" in the Reference Guide for information on the Linux patch management target definition information.
Clearing the yum caches on Linux business servers (yum clients)
The yum caches on Linux business servers (yum clients) may not have been cleared after the configuration of the yum repository server was changed. Execute the swcfmg_notify_yumcacheclean command (the yum cache cleanup notification command).
If the RPM package is still not displayed in the patch list even after taking the action above, this means that there are no Linux business servers to which that RPM package can be applied.
