The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.
To synchronize a software channel, use the softwarechannel_syncrepos command, for example:
spacecmd {SSM:0}> softwarechannel_syncrepos oraclelinux6-x86_64-addons
The command returns immediately and does not show the status of
the synchronization. You can use the tail -f
command to view the log file
/var/logs/rhn/reposync/.
channel_label.log
To set up a schedule for channel synchronization, use the softwarechannel_setsyncschedule command, for example:
spacecmd {SSM:0}> softwarechannel_setsyncschedule oraclelinux6-x86_64-addons 0 30 10 ? * *
The example configures the
oraclelinux6-x86_64-addons channel to be
resynchronized once every day at 10:30am. Specify the schedule
in Quartz format. See
http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/overview/ for
more information.
