Environment

Situation
Unable to manage a bundle via ZCC when the message queue for the event log has 250,000 entries.

Additional Information
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Create a bundle with a PreInstall script that will error out if re-run
- Deploy the bundle to a managed server
- Modify the bundle and bump the version
- The script will fail adding an entry to the Event log for the bundle and the device.
- The device attempts to re-run the transaction continuously adding an entry to the log for each failure. Allow this to run until 200k+ messages are logged.
- Attempt to access the bundle from ZENworks Control Center (ZCC) to modify (correct) the script -- unable to do so.
