user-specified update packages to managed systems.
Before you begin
• Repositories must be created and available to all agents that receive the SuperAgent wake-up
call.
• There must be a SuperAgent in each broadcast segment that contains agents you want to
receive the SuperAgent wake-up call.
• Only global administrators can perform this task.
