Localpatchserver patch:

[ptsiamis]

Includes the abillity to local clone in an http server the packages from ibm ifix thus avoiding the usage of internet/proxy in the aix systems. The method is simple you specify your server and the path of the patches and the flrtvc module replaces the urls from flrtvc.ksh to the desired local ones. It will need of course to be set with apar_csv in order to find a local copy of apar.csv. See demo playbooks for this.

Hey, @schamola So when you say output you mean i have to upload a test play of this changes that shows how its running and what it do? Thanks Panos

[schamola]

Yes @ptsiamis , test play (play recap). And also, please fix the linting issue as well... It is a very minor change.

[ptsiamis]

Hey i fixed in my latest commit the lint issue , i attach a run of my update. what it basically does is that when you dont have internet access direct or through proxy from your aix hosts you create a local webserver that has access to the internet and the aix servers have access to this server like a simpler redhat satellite. it does it by taking the original urls of the patches founded in apar.csv and modify them to the be retrieved from the custom url and path you have provided as arguments on the task run. it also let you define a custom url for FLRVT-Latest.zip in order to download it also from your internal web server. flrvt_update_ifix.log

Thanks panos
