Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Bundles
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.3 Bundles

Situation

This is fixed in version 11.4 - see KB 7016614 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11 SP4 (11.4.0) - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7016614

When defining a system environment variable in a bundle, ZENworks does not recognize the change until the managed device is rebooted.

Workaround:
This issue happens when only a system environment variable or variables are set by themselves or after user environment variables are set. If you set a user environment variable after setting the system environment variable(s) then they are all available.
