Issue/Introduction
Patch Management needs Internet access to contentupdate.ca.com (Via port 443 OR 5250) to receive patch information and maintains an up-to-date repository of available patches. Also, UPM uses its internet connection to download accepted patches from their third-party website sources. Typically, this connection is made via an internet proxy although this is not required.
NOTE: Security Rollups also require the download of 1 file via FTP (Port 21) for any rollup or delta patch download to complete successfully.
