Environment

Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management - ZSM6.5 Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED)
Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management - ZSM7 Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED)

Situation

NAL application has a Path to File in the Run Options | Application tab that has the Distributor server in the path. When the app is distributed it should change the Distributor's server name to the Subscriber's server name, but the server name is not changing.

Resolution

In order for this to work, the option Path to File needs to be selected, and not the Install Only option. Also in the Common | Macros tab of the application, set the SOURCE_PATH to the Distributor server in the original application.
When it is distributed to a Subscriber, both the SOURCE_PATH and the Path to File should change to the Subscriber's server name.
