Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Content
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Content Replication

Situation

While replicating content, a satellite server creates a CPR file in %WINDIR%\temp. When a ZCM satellite changes source on an active file , it discards the CPR entry in its local db and restart the file download from scratch, leaving an orphaned file behind in the temp folder.

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.
