Environment

Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Bundles
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1 Bundles
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2 Bundles
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 - 10.3 Bundles

Situation

  • Launching bundle with "Edit Text file" action
  • Action has the option "Prepend lines to file" or "Append lines to file" selected
  • The text in "New String" contains a curly bracket "{", perhaps as part of a System Variable
  • [Error is: An error occured while performing the "{0}" action. The error message is - "{1}". (Edit Text File Action)]

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2 - see KB 7010044 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Workaround: If a System Variable is being used, double-check the spelling, because it has not been recognized. If the "{" is part of some other text, replace it with some other symbol, such as "(" or "["
