The supported way to
update an Open Enterprise Linux Server is by OES patch bundles and
not via the oes-bundle.

1.Log into ZENworks Control Center.
2.Click Bundles.
3.Create a Bundle Group.
4.Associate all the patch bundles in the OES catalog except the oes-bundle to the Bundle Group.
5.Assign the Bundle Group to the OES managed device to be installed on a specific schedule.
For detailed information on how to perform each step, see the the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management documentation at https://www.novell.com/documentation.
