5.4. Assigning Packages to Errata
In the Managed Errata Details page, click the Packages tab and then the Add subtab. To associate
packages with the Errata being edited, select the option now containing the packages from the View
dropdown menu and click View. Packages already associated with the Errata being edited are not
displayed. Selecting will present all available packages.
All managed packages
After clicking View, the package list for the selected option will appear at the bottom. Note that the
page header still lists the Errata being edited. In the list, select the checkboxes of the packages to
be assigned to the edited Errata, and click Add Packages at the bottom-right corner of the page. A
confirmation page will appear with the packages listed. Click Confirm to associate the packages with
the Errata. The List/Remove subtab of the Managed Errata Details page will appear with the new
packages listed.
Once packages are assigned to an Errata, the Errata cache will be updated to reflect the changes. But
this is delayed briefly so that users may finish editing an Errata before all of the changes are made
available. To initiate your changes to the cache manually, click the here link within the text at the top
of the List/Remove subtab.

5.5. Cloning Errata

RHN Satellite Server customers also have the ability to clone Errata for easy replication and distribu-
tion. Only Errata potentially applicable to one of your channels can be cloned. An Errata is potentially
applicable to a channel if that channel was cloned from a channel to which the Errata applies. To ac-
cess this functionality, click Errata in the top navigation bar, then Clone Errata in the left navigation
bar. This button will appear only for RHN Satellite Server customers.
Once in the Clone Errata page, select the channel containing the Errata from the View dropdown
menu and click View. Once the Errata list appears, select the checkbox of the Errata to be cloned and
click Clone Errata.A confirmation page will appear with the Errata listed. Click Confirm to finish
the cloning.
The cloned Errata will appear in your unpublished errata list. From there you can verify the Errata
text and the packages associated with that Errata. Once you are ready, you can publish the Errata so it
is available to users in your organization.
