Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2 ZENworks Control Center - ZCC
FireFox
Microsoft Internet Explorer

Situation

Refreshing the Deployment page causes Discovery tasks to be run again

Resolution

This is a limitation of all browsers. Working as designed.

Additional Information

Currently any browser function of a F5/refresh will send the last data sent to the browser in which case it resend the finish portion of the discovery task wizard. This will happen on other pages of ZCC as well, not just discovery tasks.
 
Steps for replication:
  1. Run ZENloader in a terminal or run ZENloader.bat to watch the FINER
    messages.
  2. Create a simple Discovery task to discover a single IP address, give it a schedule of "No Schedule "
  3. Check the Discovery Task and click Actions/Launch Discovery Task
  4. Watch the ZENloader window to make sure the task finishes
  5. Refresh the page (either by hitting F5 or at the top of the page)
