n
If the value is true, the SCR Tool validates every payload file for every .pls file, whether it is new,
modified, or unchanged.
n
If the value is false, or not provided, the SCR Tool downloads and loops through each new or modified
.pls file. The process downloads any payload data, which includes .plp files and vendor patch files
that correspond to each downloaded .pls file.
dependencyCheck
Turns off dependent RPM download for Linux platforms.
dependencyCheck=true or false
When the value is true, the SCR Tool downloads all of the dependent RPMs recursively. During the initial
replication, which is performance intensive, this process downloads each package and dependencies.
When the value is false, the SCR Tool downloads only the RPMs declared in the OS vendor errata. This
process might cause the SCR Tool to miss some dependent packages during the replication from the OS
vendor. This option is the default value.
channels
Specifies the channels of content to download so that you can manage content according to environment
needs. Multiple values must be comma separated without spaces.
channels=channel1,channel2,...
For example, for Red Hat: channels=es-4,server-5
By default, excluding this switch enables all channels. By adding this switch, you can limit the duplication of
content during the download by specifying only the patches or packages that apply to your environment.
Duplicate content primarily affects Linux distributions.
