How to Add Updates to a Deployment Package

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

You add updates to a software updates deployment package, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by obtaining an instance of the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class and by using the AddUpdateContent method.

To create a software updates deployment package

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

  2. Obtain an existing package object by using the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class.

  3. Add update content to the existing package using the AddUpdateContent method.

Example

The following example method shows how to add updates to a software updates deployment package by using the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class and the AddUpdateContent method.

Note

The updates must be available in the content source path (as part of the dictionary object addUpdateContentParameters in C#). If the updates exist in a package source, that package source cannot be used for more than one deployment package.

Important

No VBScript example was included, as the AddUpdateContent method does not return from the method call on failure. This is a known issue and is being investigated.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Example of the method call in C#:

// PREWORK FOR AddUpdatesToSUMDeploymentPackage

// Define the array of Content Ids to load into addUpdateContentParameters.
int[] newArrayContentIds = new int[] { 82 };

// Define the array of source paths (these must be UNC) to load into addUpdateContentParameters.
string[] newArrayContentSourcePath = new string[] { "\\\\ServerOne\\source1" };

// Load the update content parameters into an object to pass to the method.
Dictionary<string, object> addUpdateContentParameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
addUpdateContentParameters.Add("ContentIds", newArrayContentIds);
addUpdateContentParameters.Add("ContentSourcePath", newArrayContentSourcePath);
addUpdateContentParameters.Add("bRefreshDPs", false);

SUMSnippets.AddUpdatestoSUMDeploymentPackage(WMIConnection,
                                             "ABC00001",
                                             addUpdateContentParameters);
public void AddUpdatestoSUMDeploymentPackage(WqlConnectionManager connection,
                                            string existingSUMPackageID,
                                            Dictionary<string, object> addUpdateContentParameters)
{
    try
    {
        // Get the specific SUM Deployment Package to change.
        IResultObject existingSUMDeploymentPackage = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage.PackageID='" + existingSUMPackageID + "'");

        // Add updates to the existing SUM Deployment Package using the AddUpdateContent method.
        // Note: The method will throw an exception, if the method is not able to add the content.
        existingSUMDeploymentPackage.ExecuteMethod("AddUpdateContent", addUpdateContentParameters);

        // Output a success message that the content was added.
        Console.WriteLine("Added content to the SUM deployment package. ");                
    }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to add content to the SUM deployment package.");                
        Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);      
        throw;
    }
}
