4 (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. This
option is not applicable for File bundles.
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/log/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.).
Bundle lock: Select this option to lock bundles on the managed devices from the server.
You can also use the command line utility to lock the bundles. For more information, see
Section 21.2, "Locking and Unlocking a Bundle on a Managed Device," on page 266
