Redo a YUM transaction

Use this feature to repeat the recent transaction action.

Before you begin

Ensure that you meet the following requirements:

  • Use BigFix version 9.5 and later.
  • Use Oracle Linux 6 and later versions.
  • Use YUM version 3.2.28 and later.
    Note: In the dashboard, if the YUM version of a selected endpoint is earlier than version 3.2.29.22, a warning sign next to the YUM version will indicate that the version does not support the rollback action. The Redo button is disabled for all transactions if the version is not supported.
  • Subscribe to the Patching Support site.
  • Activate the YUM Transaction History analysis.
Note: Active kernel cannot be rolled back for a kernel update.

  2. Select the endpoint whose YUM history you want to view.
  3. Select the transaction that you want to redo.
  4. Click Redo.
  5. In the Redo Transaction window, click Apply.
  6. From the Take Action window, select the computer and click OK to run the action.
