    <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Update-Manager-PowerCLI/naming-connotation/m-p/810516#M188</link>
    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can someone tell me what the naming connotation is for patches, for example: ESXe350-200810401-O-UG.zip Obviously, ESXe350 I know as well as for 2008, but what are the numbers afterward (a date?, update issue number?). I am aware of the letters as well, but what does UG,BG,SG, etc mean?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know this may be a silly questions but just trying to breakdown the naming convention for clarity and organization of my patch folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;TIA &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
