2 Copy all files related to the application MSI (not all MSI files are self-contained) to the same
application export directory. It is possible to place the application MSI is a separate folder;
however, the following section of the
needs to be modified to specify the content location:
includeAllFilesinSubFolders="false">E:\files\ApplicationX.msi</
ContentFilePath>
3 Copy the entire directory by whatever method of communication is approved from the DEV-
ZONE server to the PROD-ZONE server.
4 Create the bundle on the PROD-ZONE ZCM server by using the following command:
zman bundle-create new_bundle_name bundle_xml_filename.xml bundlefolder --
actioninfo bundle_name_ActionContentInfo.xml
bundlename
For example, use the following command to create a bundle called ApplicationX:
zman bundle-create OfficeXP officeXP.xml "/Bundles/Microsoft Applications"
--actioninfo officeXP_ActionContentInfo.xml
Application Delivery Mechanism
There are a number of different methods to deliver content to your managed devices with ZENworks
Configuration Management.

Tomcat via HTTPS
Benefits:
ZENworks Configuration Management controls the distribution of content to the various
Satellite devices and Primary Servers that exist within the Management Zone.
Data is encrypted within Tomcat, so anyone with file access to the server will not be able to
access applications.
HTTP is used to deliver content, rather than SSL, so there is no overhead to re-encrypt the
content for transmission.
Access to data is based upon the relationships defined within ZENworks Configuration
Management. If you are not a target device or user of ZENworks Configuration Management,
you have no access to application, image, or policy data.
This is a firewall-friendly solution. It is very easy to allow DMZ access to content for remote,
Internet-based devices, without cumbersome configuration changes on routers, switches, and
firewalls.
