Systems with 11.3.2 FRU1 may show many missing files from the %ZENworks_Home%\share\java\lib\missioncontrol directory
These files jmc.exe and files in missioncontrol directory were removed when v11.3.2 FRU1 was loaded.
These missing file errors can be ignored.



Resolution

It is expected that the previous system update files are missing. In this scenario, the content cleanup process has not run since deleting the previous system updates. These missing content entries will be cleaned up by the content cleanup process that runs nightly.

Additional Information

The content cleanup process is scheduled to run every night at midnight.
