12 (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.).
13 Specify the desired Scheduling options:
Deploy and update 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.
The following schedules are available. Click the link in the left column in the table below
