About Patch Management server tasks

You must configure server tasks (previously known as background actions) to run
automatically at regular intervals.
Examples of server tasks include Microsoft Patch Management Import, Adobe
Patch Management Import, and Download QChain. Automated server tasks
ensure you have the latest, most accurate data, and your software update tasks
are kept up to date. To configure a task to run automatically, set a schedule for
it.
The Microsoft Patch Management Import, Adobe Patch Management Import,
and Download QChain tasks must successfully run before you can stage or
distribute any software updates.
