Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management

Situation

Applications that generate a significant number of different non-error exit codes will be flagged by ZCM as having failed, since it is difficult to flag every possible value.

Resolution

ZCM 10.3: This is fixed in version 10.3.4 - see KB 7008244 "ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.4 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
ZCM 11.x: 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

The fix allows the use of "*", so that all exit codes will be treated as non-error exit codes - see https://www.novell.com/documentation/zcm10/zcm10_software_distribution/data/action_launch.html
