Making errata available through content views

In the orcharhino management UI, navigate to Content > Content Types > Errata to view the list of available errata.

Use the filtering tools at the top of the page to limit the number of displayed errata:

Click the Errata ID of the erratum you want to inspect:

In the orcharhino management UI, navigate to Content > Lifecycle > Content Views.

Select a content view that you want to use for applying errata.

On the Filters tab, click Create Filter.

In the Name field, enter Errata Filter.

From the Content Type list, select Errata – by date range.

Select Exclude filter.

Optional: In the Description field, enter Exclude errata items from YYYY-MM-DD.

Click Create filter.

For Errata Type, select the checkboxes of errata types you want to exclude. For example, select the Enhancement and Bugfix checkboxes and clear the Security checkbox to exclude enhancement and bugfix errata after certain date, but include all the security errata.

For Date Type, select one of two checkboxes:

Select the Start Date to exclude all errata on or after the selected date.

Leave the End Date field blank.

Click Save.

Click Publish New Version to publish the resulting repository.

Enter Adding errata filter in the Description field.

Click Save.

Click the Versions tab.

Click Promote to the right of the published version.

Select the environments you want to promote the content view version to.

In the Description field, enter the description for promoting.

Click Promote Version to promote this content view version across the required environments.

Create a filter for the errata:

$ hammer content-view filter create \
--content-view "My_Content_View" \
--description "Exclude errata items from the YYYY-MM-DD" \
--name "My_Filter_Name" \
--organization "My_Organization" \
--type "erratum"

Create a filter rule to exclude all errata on or after a Start Date:

$ hammer content-view filter rule create \
--content-view "My_Content_View" \
--content-view-filter="My_Content_View_Filter" \
--organization "My_Organization" \
--start-date "YYYY-MM-DD" \
--types=security,enhancement,bugfix

Publish the content view:

$ hammer content-view publish \
--name "My_Content_View" \
--organization "My_Organization"

Promote the content view to the lifecycle environment so that the included errata are available to that lifecycle environment:

$ hammer content-view version promote \
--content-view "My_Content_View" \
--organization "My_Organization" \
--to-lifecycle-environment "My_Lifecycle_Environment"

In the orcharhino management UI, navigate to Content > Content Types > Errata.

From the Errata list, click the name of the errata that you want to apply.

Select the content hosts that you want to apply the errata to, and click Apply to Hosts. This creates the incremental update to the content view.

If you want to apply the errata to the content host, select the Apply Errata to Content Hosts immediately after publishing checkbox.

Click Confirm to apply the errata.

List the errata and its corresponding IDs:

$ hammer erratum list

List the different content-view versions and the corresponding IDs:

$ hammer content-view version list

Apply a single erratum to content-view version. You can add more IDs in a comma-separated list.

$ hammer content-view version incremental-update \
--content-view-version-id My_Content_View_Version_ID \
--errata-ids My_Erratum_ID_1,My_Erratum_ID_2
