Adding Packages to a Group

• Option 1: Select Add packages. This option allows you to select from a list of available packages.

• Option 2: Select Add packages by name. This option must be used for packages provided by third-party or private software sources.

Provide the basic information for the job:

• Name: Enter a name for the job. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the job. Avoid entering confidential information.

• Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the job. Avoid entering confidential information.

• If selecting from a list of available packages, the list only shows the latest package versions. Use the search box to find a specific package. For older versions, clear the Latest only option.

• If providing a package list, add a list of packages using name, NVRA, or NEVRA format. See Package List Format.

Select when to run the job:

• Run immediately: Select this option to run the job now.
• Schedule: Select this option to run the job at a future date and time. Select the calendar icon to select a date and time.
  • Automatic Retry: When selected, if the initial execution of the job fails, the service retries the job up three times. Each retry is five minutes apart.

  • Show advanced options: Add tags to this resource.

    If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, ask an administrator or skip this option. You can apply tags later.
