Hi,
Can someone help me understand how to load the Relays in advance of a Patch Policy cycle?
I need to manage the download of monthly patches on the Relays a few days in advance and at night through an automatic process.
Thanks
Giorgio

Hi Jason,
I am familiar with the pre-cache wizard, but I am looking for advice on how to automate these operations in the monthly patching cycle. Is there something like this already available?
Thanks
Giorgio
I don’t think there’s anything specific for that; it seems like a real niche request.
It would of course be possible to write something via the REST API.
If you just send your patch actions ahead of time, configured with an action-start-time parameter, all the caching is done automatically at both the relay and the client. That’s probably the most effective way.
Another option would be to use the Maintenance Window dashboard so the patch actions are sent, but wait until the individual machines’ maintenance window starts before executing the cached patches.
Ok, thanks Jason.
I will try your advice first to set an action start time well in advance.
Bye
Giorgio
I’ve done something like that with Rest API
