Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Scheduled task has a status of 'waiting' although the scheduled time has passed.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENWorks Asset Management Interim Release 4

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 for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 4 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.

Additional Information

The status of a scheduled job, when there is a run in its future, should always be"waiting" (except when it is "running"). The scheduled column should always show the time of the next scheduled run (or the current run, if it is "running").
