Export URL Requests

If the Gateway Server cannot connect to the Vendor download site, the unfulfilled agent request files can be exported and then imported into another Gateway Server with internet connectivity.

The Export URL Requests operation allows you to see and filter the list of unfulfilled URL requests and import the list into another Patch Gateway Server.

When you export the URL, you are prompted to save the contents as an XML file with a name of your choice. The XML file contains the patch URLs selected during the export.

To access the Export URL Requests page:

  1. Select Operations tab from the Console
  2. Select Patch Management > Gateway Settings > Export URL Requests.

To export a list of unfulfilled URL requests:

Note: The Export URL Request will only list the URL requests made when the INTERNET option is set to N in patch.cfg. Export URL Request is meant only for an environment where the Internet is not made available to the server hosting the primary Patch Gateway. The Export URL Request list (of unfulfilled URLs) that is created a Gateway without internet access can be downloaded after using Import URL Requests on another Gateway server that has Internet connectivity. Later the downloaded files can be copied back to the gateway folder on the primary Patch Gateway server.
