Now that Jamf Pro Admin is no longer available, is there a way in Jamf Pro web portal to upload a new .pkg file that replaces a current .pkg in an existing package? I don't see any way to do this. This was relatively straightforward task in Admin, but it seems like you have to create a new package every time you need to update a (non-Apple or non-Jamf App Store) package? I have multi-package install policies which include a dozen or more packages, which all would need to be modified every time a new package name gets added/removed? In the past, when the package name could remain unchanged and you could just update the underlying .pkg file, there was no need to worry.

 

Am I missing something?

 

TIA,

Jim

Have you tried viewing one of the packages you want to replace, clicking the Remove button for the current package under the Filename label, then using the "browse for a file" link to select a file for upload? 

Hmm, I don't see a Remove button. Am I looking in the correct place?

Used to have many pkg installers, most are now covered by JAMF Mac Apps. 

try using a chained installer, called by another policy, this may help. 

All our apps are include version no. so they will always be unique.

If you try to switch to Installomator, then you don't need to. package of each update. It will install the package and keep you updated with the new version.

@J_Morgan did you find a way to update a pkg?  I cannot seem to find documentation.  

I found Jamf Sync and got it working to solve my issue.

No, but thanks for the advice. What I found was that if I did try to update a package in Packages page of Jamf Pro (on-prem) that it would fail and that I had to make a new package to keep this from happening. Refer to this other thread.
