Comparing Contents of Two Catalogs
Tom can compare the result of two online synchronizations.
He performs the following steps:
1
From the Software Update Repositories tree, Tom selects Online
Repository
.
2 In the right-hand side pane, he selects the Online Repository Comparison
tab.
NOTE: To be able to view contents in this tab, Tom should have performed
online synchronization.
IT Assistant compares the catalogs and provides status and version
information.
After comparing, Tom can decide if he wants to import the contents into the
IT Assistant Repository.
Tom can Filter to view the comparison results. This enables him to view a
subset of the results, especially:
• since the number of packages in the Online Repository maybe large or
• he only wants to see the comparison of packages/bundles that he is
interested in
Tom can filter based on:
• Components, such as the Baseboard Management Controller, Remote
Access Controller, and so on
• Operating systems
• Systems
• A combination of any of the above
Or he could click Show All to remove all filtering criteria.
NOTE: Any filtering criteria only changes the view in the Comparison Results tab;
it does not affect the actual contents or downloaded packages and bundles in
the repositories.
NOTE: The filter settings are only retained within the active browser session.
He can then click Import to import the packages or bundles to the
IT Assistant Repository tree.
