Lenovo System Update Solution (Deployment Guide) - Manual (Page 54)

Show updates in a repository
You can view updates in the repository by choosing Manage repository and then
selecting Update view.
You can view updates in the repository by filtering by operating system, language,
machine type, severity, and status. In the Update view, you can sort the list of
updates by update ID, title, version, reboot type, severity, license, or status. You
can select one or more packages and modify or delete them. You can also select
non-Lenovo packages and modify the triplets.
Hiding updates
You can hide updates, which means that the hidden updates including the current
and future versions will not be displayed as relevant (from the Lenovo Help
Center) in the future. You have two options:
v Hide just this specific version of the update
v Hide all future versions of the update
If in the future you want to have those updates displayed again, you can unhide
them.
Importing updates
Importing updates enables you to add custom updates that were created using the
Update Retriever. When updates are imported, they are automatically marked as
unassigned, which means System Update will not find those updates as candidate
updates for any system. You can then assign those updates to one or more triplet
values so System Update will find them.
To import updates, each update must be in its own subfolder. If importing only
one update, the end user should specify the folder that contains that update. If
importing multiple updates, the end user should put each update subfolder under
a wrapper folder and specify the wrapper folder during the import operation.
Importing an update package into network share repository
You can import custom updates that are built manually or customized with Update
Retriever, into a network share repository using Update Retriever. When an update
is imported, it is not assigned to a triplet. The value for the triplet is listed as
″Unassigned″ for the machine type. You must assign custom updates to one or
more systems before they will be recognized by System Update.
Complete the following steps to import an update package back into the network
share repository and to reassign the triplet information:
1. Launch Update Retriever.
2. Click Manage repository on the left side panel.
3. Click Import updates.
4. Click Browse and navigate to your repository containing update packages.
5. Select your applicable update package and then click OK.
6. Mark the check the box to search sub-folders (if the .xmls files are not in the
root folder).
7. Click Next.
8. Review the updates that were found and then click Import.
9. On the Show updates panel, click Update view.
