CA Patch Manager manages software patches in heterogeneous environments. You can have patches delivered to managed servers in CA Server Automation when you have CA Patch Manager installed with CA ITCM. Patches can be delivered to computers that are identified as meeting the prerequisites for patch delivery.
CA Server Automation checks the status of the patch to verify whether it is approved or not. Only approved patches appear in the list of available packages when you are setting up package delivery in CA Server Automation, regardless of whether the patch is available in CA ITCM.
To deliver a patch to a server, the server must have a CA ITAM agent installed on it. This agent classifies the server into one of the following groups:
CA Patch Manager creates these groups automatically and updates them, so that CA Server Automation knows which servers are available for patch deployment. If the agent is not installed and you attempt to deliver a patch, CA Server Automation returns an error message. The message notifies you that the state of the server is unknown and the patch cannot be delivered.
