Unable to complete your request, check ZCC logs at C:\Program Files\Novell\Zenworks\logs\zcc.log for further information
 
The following error shows in the zcc.log
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "fk_zQueue_serverUID".  The conflict occured in database <Zenworks Database name>, table" dbo.zZENServer", column 'ZUID'.
 
 

Resolution

Specify the server doing the System Update operations in the following location:
ZCC -> Infrastructure Management -> System Update Settings -> Dedicated Server Settings

Additional Information

The error in zcc.log shows that the task cannot be inserted into the zQueue table because the ServerUID for the server it is trying to use is not found in the zZENServer table.  This can happen if the server being used for updates previously has been removed from the Zone.
