Updating The Local Repository
The Local Repository can be updated with the latest available updates (DUPs). The selected repository
compares against the latest catalog file, which consists the latest available updates. You have the
options to update the repository with all the available DUPs for the system. Also, you can choose a
specific DUP as per the requirement. Different DUPs exist for newer version, changed files, obsoleted
files, and other files in the source screen. These options guide you further to drill down your search to
the exact DUP for a system. Repository Update Report can be saved to the local system, with the details
of the downloaded and installed updates. For more information, see
