Environment
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11
SP1
Situation
If an ADF (Administrator-Defined field) is created and included in
a CDF (Collection Data Form), then subsequent changes to the ADF
field size or other changes will not be seen on the workstation.
Resolution
After making changes to the ADF, then edit also the corresponding
CDF and apply. Then the change will flow down to the
workstation.
Cause
The CDF configuration is saved as xml string. and modification done
at ADF page will not reflect in this setting. To confirm, see inventoryCollectionWizard.xml
file in %ZENWORKS_HOME%\cache\zmd\settings.
Additional Information
To confirm what setting is actually on the agent, check the file:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%\cache\settings\inventoryCollectionWizard.xml.
It will not change until the ADF is updated.
Also run query on database : select * from zsystemsetting where name = 'inventoryCollectionWizard'
confirm that the data is proper. If there is more than one there are likely separate assignments on device folders, device etc. Confirm each of those has been updated.
