10 (Optional) Specify the desired Special Flag options:
Remove conflicting packages: Select this option to specify that conflicting packages and
files are uninstalled from devices before installing new packages and files. By default, this
option is selected, so conflicting packages and files (previous versions of the same
package, for example) are uninstalled before the current package or file is installed. If this
option is not selected, packages and files are not installed if a conflict is detected.
Attempt a dry run: Select this option to have ZENworks Linux Management perform a
test to determine if the RPM bundle or files can be successfully deployed. If there are any
issues that could prevent the RPM bundle or file bundle from being deployed, you can
look at the log file to troubleshoot the bundle-creation process. The log file is located in /
var/opt/novell/logs/zenworks.
A successful dry run ensures that the bundle can be successfully deployed or installed on
assigned devices (packages are available, dependencies are met, etc.).
11 Specify the desired Scheduling options:
Deploy and install at a scheduled time: Use this option to schedule the deployment and
installation of the bundles contained in this bundle group. Click the Schedule icon to
choose the schedule type.

Deploy and install at separate scheduled times: Use this option to specify an optional
deployment schedule separate from the installation schedule. If you select this option, you
can set up a deployment schedule and an installation schedule. If you do not select this
option, the packages will be deployed and installed on assigned devices according to the
schedule. Click the Schedule icon to choose the schedule type.

Description
Select one or more dates on which to install the bundle on
assigned devices and set other restrictions that might apply.
Schedule when the bundle is installed, either immediately after
the device refreshes or a specified amount of time after the
device refreshes. You can also specify whether the bundle's
installation is repeated and specify a time period when you do
not want the bundle installed to help minimize network traffic
during that time.
