5.4. Cloning Errata

Errata can be cloned for easy replication and distribution as part of Red Hat Satellite. Only errata potentially applicable to one of your channels can be cloned. Errata can be applicable to a channel if that channel was cloned from a channel to which the errata applies. To access this functionality, click Errata on the top navigation bar, then Clone Errata on the left navigation bar. This button appears only for Red Hat Satellite customers.

In the Clone Errata page, select the channel containing the errata from the View dropdown menu and click View. Once the errata list appears, select the checkbox of the errata to be cloned and click Clone Errata. A confirmation page appears with the errata listed. Click Confirm to finish the cloning.

The cloned errata appears in the unpublished errata list. From there, verify the errata text and the packages associated with that errata. Once ready, publish the errata so it is available to users in your organization.
