<font size=2 face="Ebrima">IBM Endpoint Manager for Patch Management for
Windows is pleased to announce the release of the Custom Repository Setting
feature for Java patches in the Updates for Windows Applications site.
With this feature, users can create, update, or delete custom repository
settings for Java patches. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Ebrima">For Java patches, the installers are cached
for a limited time in IBM Endpoint Manager servers and eventually removed
automatically. This requires users to again download and manually cache
the installers to deploy Fixlets. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Ebrima">The Custom Repository Setting feature works
as an alternative to manual caching. Users can configure custom repository
settings to cache Java installers to the custom repository folder. Installers
are then maintained in the repository without the risk of automatic removal.
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Ebrima">As patches are deployed and actions taken
from the IBM Endpoint Manager console, Java Fixlets download the patch
binaries from the custom repository folder. Since patch binaries are permanently
cached, users can maintain the custom repository folders as they prefer.
