Hello Steve,

Thank you for the tool. I have a couple of questions. I see that an XML
file is available for download. How does that file get updated? Also I have
multiple base channels. These base channels are for each environment we
have (Dev, Test, Prod). If I use your tool would it be able to assign
Errata to all of these channels? Also with these base channels we are on a
cycle where each week they get updated so some channels might have newer
packages in them than others. Can your script deal with that as well by
assigning Errata that is already added into another channel? Thank you for
your time and have a great day!

Regards,
Jeremy
