downloadPayload
If the value is true, all patches are downloaded. If the value is false, only the patches with UIDs that are
included in the cache request folder are downloaded. If the value is false and there is no cache request
XML, the content is processed but no patches are downloaded.
downloadPayload=true or false
cacheRequestFolder
cacheRequestFolder=path/CacheRequest.xml
The cache request XMLfile is used to limit the downloaded patches to only those for which you obtain
UIDs from the ecm_sysdat_patch_pls table in the VCM database.
Extract the .pls UIDs from the database and create an XML file similar to the one below, then update the
cacheRequestFolder path to the file location.
To obtain the UID of a patch, run the following command where the name is required to find the patch for
the architecture and version, and the identifier is the name of the bulletin to download the patch using the
UID. In this example, the identifier value is RHBA-2007:0622-02.
select name, [uid]
from ecm_sysdat_patch_pls
where identifier = 'RHBA-2007:0622-02'
To include the prerequisites for the patch, use the following queries.
select name, [uid],prerequisite_uids
from ecm_sysdat_patch_pls
where identifier = 'RHBA-2007:0622-02'
