You can verify that software update packages in software update tasks have the
correct global server settings applied. If you changed settings in a vendor policy,
run the Check Software Update Package Integrity task to check that all software
update packages have the correct new settings and values.
See "Configuring vendor settings"
The task also relocates the software update packages in case if you changed the
default package location on the Core Services page.
