Creating Patch-Template-Rules
Creating Patch-Template-Rules
Patch-Template-Rules are created using the New-EmdbPatchTemplateRule cmdlet.
Examples:
|
Hint: The execution of these examples requires a connected PowerShell drive. |
When creating a new Patch-Template-Rule, the mandatory parameters that must be supplied are the name of the rule and the template to be used. The template is essentially a "normal" Software-Package object, which has to be retrieved in advance:
|
$MyPatchTemplate = Get-EmdbSoftwarePackage "emdb:\rootDSE\Global Software Library\Patch Library\Templates\Flash-Template" New-EmdbPatchTemplateRule "Flash-Updates" -Template $MyPatchTemplate |
Patch-Template-Rules support the EvaluationOrder-parameter. During evaluation of the rules, the first rule with matching criteria is applied. As a consequence, the order of evaluation is an important aspect. The rule from above could therefore be created with in a more sophisticated way:
|
New-EmdbPatchTemplateRule "Flash-Updates" -Template $MyPatchTemplate -EvaluationOrder 1 |
In order to create a Patch-Template-Rule, that is only valid for Patch-Packages of the category "Adobe Flash", the following code could be used for instance:
|
$MyPatchTemplate = Get-EmdbSoftwarePackage "emdb:\rootDSE\Global Software Library\Patch Library\Templates\Flash-Template" $MyPatchCategory = Get-EmdbPatchCategory "emdb:\rootDSE\Global Software Library\Patch Library\Adobe Flash" New-EmdbPatchTemplateRule "Flash-Updates" -Template $MyPatchTemplate -IncludeFilterList $MyPatchCategory |
