Manage repositories
The following repository functions are supported by Update Manager:
● Import update packages to repositories or device bundles.
● Delete repositories
● Delete device bundles and update packages.
● Refresh a repository.
No other operations are allowed when the jobs for any of these functions are in progress.
Repository versioning- Any of the above actions, except for repository deletion, results in the creation of a new version of the
repository with the version number incremented by 0.01. Refresh the browser or go to another page if the repository version is
not updated. The number of versions any repository can have depends on the limit configured in update management
preferences.
NOTE: The change in repository version number is not reflected in the Audit logs. To see the latest version of the
repository go the Overview or Repository page.

Import an update package
About this task
An update package can be imported only from a local path to one or multiple repositories or device bundles. Only update
packages with the file format .EXE are supported.
Steps
1. From OpenManage Enterprise go to Update Management, and then click Repository.
2. Select the repository or bundle to which the update package is to be imported and click Import.
● To select all the repositories, select the check box to the left of Name.
● To select one or more repositories, select the check box next to a repository.
● To select one or more bundles, expand the repository and select the check box next to the device.
3. Click Browse and select the update package from the local system.
If an update package is not applicable to a device or repository, then an error message is displayed.
NOTE:
● The import operation will not be successful if the update package does not have a valid signature.
● It is recommended to not change the file name of the DUP to be imported.
4. Click Finish once the import job is completed.
Results
Once the import job is successfully completed, the baseline and catalog of the repository are also updated. The repository is
updated and its version is incremented by 0.01.
If the same type of update package is present in the repository, it is replaced with the imported update package. If the update
package is exactly the same as another update package in the repository, then no changes are made to the repository.
