Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Bundles

Situation

Windows bundles have been configured with system requirements to check for file existence on a network share

On network disconnect, the bundle icon is still showing e.g., in ZENworks Explorer window while the system requirement is not matched any longer.

Resolution

A fix for this issue is intended to be included in a future update to the product: however, in the interim, Novell has made a Patch available for testing, as part of a Monthly patch update: it can be obtained at https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=Rbs5fYlojj0~ as "ZCM 11.2.4 Monthly Update 1 - see TID 7014163". This update should only be applied if the symptoms above are being experienced, and are causing problems.

Please report any problems encountered when using this Patch, by using the feedback link on this TID.

Workaround:
Trigger a ZCM agent refresh

Cause

On network connectivity change, only the device session but not the user session gets refreshed. Only on user session refresh nalshell gets triggered to update bundle icon availability.
