Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.2 - see KB 7010757 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7010757

Cause

CPU Product Name is found to be 'AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+', which is too long for the subcategory string (maxlength = 25) and the set operation fails without error or exception.
