Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

The cover removed field in the Custom Reports has the default value of 1-1-1980 instead of being Null if the cover has never been removed. This can be misleading since it indicates the cover may have been removed at that date.

Resolution

This field is removed from the Custom Reports. The Cover Removal Date field is still there and can be used instead.

Fixed in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 10 or newer

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually at https://download.novell.com. The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 10 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.
