Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

When using ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 duplicate entries in software compliance appear when choosing the "group by" option.
Example -
Company has 3 records for Visio 2003 Standard.
Inv. sb12345 - 1 license
Inv. sb12346 - 1 license
Inv. sb12347 - 1 license.
Under software compliance reports, the default report shows - a single line item for Visio 2003 Standard with license quantity of 3.
This is correct.
If the user chooses the "Group By" option on the software compliance report though, they get different results:
- Choose Group By
- Choose Department
- Choose ISD
- Click Search
Now Visio 2003 Standard shows a license quantity of 12!
Examination of the 12 licenses shows that each license is listed four times.

Resolution

Fixed in ZAM 7.5 IR 5.
