packages with the errata. The List/Remove subtab of the Managed Errata Details
page appears with the new packages listed.
Once packages are assigned to an erratum, the errata cache is updated to reflect the changes.

changes are made available. To initiate your changes to the cache manually, follow the
directions to commit your changes immediately at the top of the page.

5.5. Cloning Errata

You may clone errata for easy replication and distribution as part of RHN Satellite Server.
Only errata potentially applicable to one of your channels can be cloned. Errata can be ap-
plicable to a channel if that channel was cloned from a channel to which the errata applies.
To access this functionality, click Errata on the top navigation bar, then Clone Errata on
the left navigation bar. This button appears 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 appears with the errata
listed. Click Confirm to finish the cloning.
The cloned errata appears in your unpublished errata list.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.
