Managing Patch Jobs for Mac Assets
You can deploy jobs to install patches that are missing or remediate any identified vulnerabilities. Based on your preference, you can deploy a patch job from any of the following tabs:
- Jobs
- Assets
- Patches
The difference between the two options is when creating a job from the Jobs tab, you select the assets while creating the job, whereas when creating a job from the Assets tab, you select the Assets first and then create a deployment job to deploy patches on those assets. The assets are pre-populated for the job when creating a deployment job from the Assets tab.
The job title for each job must be unique. You cannot have the same job title as a Linux or Windows job. For example, if a Linux job titled Security Patches is created, you cannot have a Mac job titled Security Patches.
