Creating a Snapshot of a Vendor Software Source

Create a copy of a vendor software source with package versions that remain static. The packages remain at the versions in the vendor source at the time you create the snapshot.

A snapshot is a type of custom software source.
    1. On the Software Sources list page, select the compartment you want the snapshot to reside in. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Software Sources.
    2. Select the name of the vendor software source you want to use for the snapshot.
      Tip

      Don't see a vendor software source? You might need to add the source to the service or replicate the source to the current compartment.
    3. Select Create snapshot.
    4. Enter a Name and Description for the snapshot.
    5. Select Create.

    oci os-management-hub software-source create-custom-swsrc --compartment-id ocid --display-name name --vendor-software-sources software-source-ocids --software-source-sub-type type [OPTIONS]
