Well, I've mistyped the filename, correct is 'updateinfo.xml':
# locate updateinfo.xml
...
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/rhel-x86_64-appstream-8/updateinfo.xml.gz
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/rhel-x86_64-baseos-8/updateinfo.xml.gz
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/rhel-x86_64-server-7/updateinfo.xml.gz
...

HI Michael,

Thanks.

Where can I find the file 'updates.xml' in the spacewalk server?

Does this mean that I do not need to individually subscribe each RHEL server 
onto the Red Hat Customer Portal to be managed as a system and attach a 
subscription to each RHEL server?
As long as all the other RHEL servers are registered to Spacewalk server for 
their repos, and that only Spacewalk server needs to be subscribe onto the Red 
hat Customer portal and attached a subscription in order to receive repo errata 
updates?

Red Hat's repos contain errata information. See updates.xml in repodata.
And it's downloaded automaticaly using spacewalk-repo-sync.

[Spacewalk-list] Errata for RHEL systems in Spacewalk

[Wenkai Chen]

Hi Spacewalk users,

I would like to enquire for RHEL systems that are registered to Spacewalk 
server, do they need to import errata manually?

Currently, for CentOS servers, I am using steve Meier's errata information 
(http://cefs.steve-meier.de/) to sync errata into Spacewalk server.

I have another Spacewalk server that manages RHEL 7 servers. I currently have 2 
RHEL servers that are registered to this Spacewalk server.
I discovered that errata information is given in the Spacewalk web console. I 
have not perform any errata import from Steve Meier's website.

This Spacewalk server is itself registered onto the Red Hat portal with a 
subscription.

Does this mean that I can skip the process of importing errata information for 
RHEL servers?
Thanks in advance.
