Global updates automate repository replication in your network. You can use the Global Updating server setting to configure the content that is distributed to repositories during a global update.
Global updates are disabled by default. We recommend that you enable and use them as part of your updating strategy. You can specify a randomization interval and package types to be distributed during the update. The randomization interval specifies the time period in which all systems are updated. Systems are updated randomly in the specified interval.

All packages — Select this option to include all signatures and engines, and all patches and Service Packs.
Selected packages — Select this option to limit the signatures and engines, and patches and Service Packs included in the global update.
