Hi, You need an active CSI and ULN access to synchronise the Base/Patch channels. I don't recommend combining them into a single channel. Rather, you link a parent OL5U11 channel to the ol5_u11_base channel on ULN and then create a child ol5_u11_patch channel. This is discussing in the Concept

Hi, We cannot reproduce this issue internally. In our Spacewalk testing, a client connected to a channel that only syncs from ol5_x86_64_latest creates almost exactly the same metadata as if it were directly connected to yum.oracle.com or ULN. But yes, it creates about 1.6GB of data: -rw-r--r

Thank you Avi What is your suggestion here to move forward with OL5x? BTW, we are not using the UEK kernel hence "ol5_u11_base" channels may not be helpful for us. other than Unbreakable channels, can we use any? If you want any further information from my end for Sapcewalk server/ client, I am
