Replicating Patch Management import data

Downloading Microsoft or Adobe Patch Management software update catalog
files to multiple Notification Servers can consume considerable network resources.
Notification Server hierarchy features remove the need to download Patch
Management software update catalog files individually. You can download the
files once to a single parent Notification Server and then, using the Patch
Management Import Data Replication for Microsoft and Patch Management
Import Data Replication for Adobe rules, send the relevant data to any number
of child Notification Servers . The replicated data on the child Notification Servers
is identical to the data on the parent, depending on managed languages.
See "Replicating Patch Management import data"
After downloading Microsoft or Adobe Patch Management software update catalog
files and importing data to a parent Notification Server, you can replicate the data
to any number of child Notification Servers .

"About Patch Management software update catalog replication"

Warning: Before you replicate update catalogs, ensure that the Patch Management
Language Alerting rule has run.
