Configuring Jetpatch to support 3rd Party Updates

The following changes in WSUS scrips are made in intigua.properties file.

1. To edit configurations ssh JetPatch Application server and edit the intigua.properties file:(usr/share/tomcat/default/conf/intigua.properties)

Make sure to include "Updates" to get all 3rd Party Patches.

pg.wsus.target-patch-categories=Critical Updates,Definitions Updates,Security Updates,Updates

By adding the following property to intigua.properties JetPatch will pull only four classifications "Critical Updates", "Definitions Updates", "Security Updates" and "Updates"

Please refer to the article Relevant Patches to pull based on the patch classification

Note: any changes to the properties file requires a tomcat restart (service tomcat restart)

2. By default the system task"WSUS Get Updates" full scan runs once in a week. 

pg.wsus.update.full-scan-delay-hours=168

A manual run of WSUS get updates full scan can be forced by appending the following to the JetPatch URL:/vmanage-server/rest/experimental/patch-governance/jobs/fetch-wsus/run?fullScan=true

Should look like this:

Note: 

1. Run it only once. {} mean it was started successfully. It can take up to 20 minutes for new updates to appear in the Patches Catalog. 

2. Make sure to select All in "Patches Status".
