Checking in the update package

You can create an ePO server task that automatically checks in content update packages to the ePO Repository, or you can download an update package and check it in manually.

To add update packages automatically:

  1. Select the ePO server name in the ePO console tree, and click the Scheduled Tasks tab.
  2. Click Create task.
  3. In the Configure New Task pane, type a name for the task, for example, HIP Content Updates.
  4. From the Task type list, select Repository Pull.
  5. From the Schedule type list, select a frequency.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select the source repository (McAfeeHttp or McAfeeFtp) and any other available options.
  8. Click Finish.

This task downloads the content update package directly from McAfee at the indicated frequency and adds it to the Repository, updating the database with new Host Intrusion Prevention content.

To add update packages manually:

  1. Select the Repository in the ePO console tree and click Check in package.
  2. Click Next, and then select Products or updates.
  3. Click Next, and then enter the full path for the PkgCatalog.z file.
  4. Click Next, and then click Finish.
