Resolution
A fix for this issue is intended to be included in a future update
to the product: however, in the interim, Novell has made a Patch
available for testing, in the form of a Field Test File (FTF): it
can be obtained at https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=Vzjb8IwaZSk~
as "ZCM 10.3.3 - DAU schedule edit fix - see TID 7008253". This
Patch should only be applied if the symptoms above are being
experienced, and are causing problems.
This Patch has had limited testing, and should not be used in a
production system without first being checked in a test
environment. Some Patches have specific requirements for
deployment, it is very important to follow any instructions in the
readme at the download site. Please report any problems encountered
when using this Patch, by using the feedback link on this
TID.
Note:
The temporary fix in this FTF removes the ability to separately
schedule the DAU Distribution. It is the intention to restore this
capability in the next ZCM 10.x release.
Additional Information
The ability to schedule DAU was introduced in ZCM 10.3.3, and can
be found in ZCC under Configuration> Patch Management>Schedule Discover
