Situation
Patches deployed through ZCM Patch Management will not install if the patch name is longer than 120 characters.
The results.txt for the patch %zenworks_home%\zpm\<patch name>.results.txt reports error: Missing signature file. This is probably a valid scenario because some packages may be deployed to devices that are not applicable. This means that the package is applicable to a different Operating System or Language.
