Custom Errata Management

Custom errata enables you to issue errata alerts for the packages in your custom channels.
All errata management activities take place in the Errata tab of the RHN website. The
instructions here are used in conjunction with the RHN website chapter of the Red Hat
Network Reference Guide.

5.1. Manage Errata

In addition to the buttons and pages available to standard RHN Management-level users,
RHN Satellite Server and RHN Proxy Server customers also have access to Manage Er-
rata in the left navigation bar. This button opens the Errata Management interface, where
all custom errata management work occurs.
Warning
If you are using both RHN Proxy Server and RHN Satellite Server, you must manage er-
rata only on the Satellite, since the Proxy servers receive updates directly from it. Manag-
ing errata on a Proxy in this combined configuration risks putting your servers out-of-sync.
Clicking on an advisory within the Errata Management list takes you to the Details tab
of the Managed Errata Details page. Refer to Section 5.2 Managed Errata Details for a
