3.2 Bundle Summary Page

The Summary page of a bundle displays the following panels:

3.2.1 General

The General panel provides a summary of the bundle’s general settings.

Bundle Type

Displays the type of bundle.

Size

Click Compute to display the size of the content associated with the bundle.To view the correct size of the bundle, check for the bundle size information in the bundle summary page after the content import is complete.

When you create a bundle, the bundle's files are imported to the ZENworks content repository. The import is a server process that can take a while. Until the import is complete, the size of the bundle is displayed as 0 (zero).

Version

Displays the latest published version of the bundle. However, if the bundle is a sandbox-only bundle or has a sandbox, it displays Sandbox.

Enabled

Displays whether or not the bundle can be deployed to managed devices.If a bundle is enabled, it can be deployed to managed devices.

When you disable a bundle that has already been deployed to a managed device, the bundle icon is removed from all the shortcut locations of the device. However, all the actions performed on the device prior to the disabling of the bundle remain unchanged. If this bundle is assigned to a new device, the bundle shortcut icons are not placed in the device's shortcut locations.

If the bundle is disabled, click Enable to allow it to be deployed.

Number of Errors Not Acknowledged

An error is anything that causes the deployment or installation of the bundle to fail. The number displayed indicates the number of unacknowledged errors, which are any errors that you have not specifically marked as acknowledged. Unacknowledged errors are displayed in the Message Log section.

Number of Warnings Not Acknowledged

A warning is anything that does not cause the deployment or installation of the bundle to fail, but indicates minor problems with the bundle. The number displayed indicates the number of unacknowledged warnings, which are any warnings that you have not specifically marked as acknowledged. Unacknowledged warnings are displayed in the Message Log section.

GUID

Displays the bundle’s GUID (global unique identifier), a randomly generated string that provides a unique identifier for the bundle. You cannot edit the GUID.

Display Name

Displays the bundle’s name as it appears in ZENworks Control Center (ZCC) and the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (on managed devices). Click Edit to change the name. Changing the name does not cause the bundle to be redeployed.

Description

Displays the bundle’s description, if one was provided when the bundle was created. The description appears in ZCC and the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (on managed devices). Click Edit to change the description.

Icon

Determines the shortcut icon that ZENworks Adaptive Agent displays on managed devices. During creation of the bundle, if you specified a custom icon rather than using the standard ZENworks bundle icon, this field displays the image and name of the custom icon. If you did not specify a custom icon, this field is empty and the standard icon is used.

Click Edit to change the icon, delete the icon, or add an icon if one is not specified.

To select an icon, click Browse icon , then browse to and select the icon you want to display on managed devices.

If the desired icon is embedded in a .exe, .dll, or .ico file that has multiple icons from which to choose, you must install additional items before you can browse to and select the desired icon.

For Mozilla Firefox, if you have not already installed the Novell ZENworks File Upload plug-in on this device, you must do so before you can download and install the download plug-in or browse to and upload the icon. After you install the Novell ZENworks File Upload plug-in, you must also install the download plug-in. To do so, click the Click here to download plug-in message box that displays in the Select Icon dialog box (if you have already installed the plug-in on this device, the plug-in box does not display), click Manual Install, then click Install Now.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must install the Novell File Upload ActiveX control only; there is no download plug-in for Internet Explorer. For more information, see Novell ZENworks File Upload plug-in.

After you have downloaded and installed the necessary extensions and plug-in, click browse icon to browse to and select the icon you want ZENworks Adaptive Agent to display to represent the bundle. If the icon in embedded in a .exe, .dll, or .ico file that contains multiple icons, an additional dialog box displays to let you select the desired icon.

NOTE:For Linux bundles, only the PNG and JPEG formats are supported.

Contacts

Displays the contact information (names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses) of the people who you want users to contact with problems or questions about the bundle. The contact information is displayed by ZENworks Adaptive Agent on managed devices.

Click Edit to change the contact information, delete contact information, or add contact information.

Administrator Notes

Displays any information that has been added specifically for ZENworks administrators to view. The notes are displayed only in ZCC.

Click Edit to change the notes, add notes, or delete notes. Editing the note does not create a sandbox. You can edit the administrator notes for any version of a bundle.

ZENworks Explorer Folder Path

Displays the folder path used by ZENworks Adaptive Agent when displaying the bundle on the Start menu.

For example, if you specify Applications/Accounting as the path and choose to display the bundle on the Start menu, ZENworks Adaptive Agent creates an Applications/Accounting folder on the Start menu and adds the bundle to it.

You can place multiple bundles in a single folder by specifying the same folder path for each of the bundles.

Click Edit to change the folder path, add a folder path, or delete the folder path.

Add-On Image File

You can create an image file for the bundle to use as an add-on image to a base image. If you have already created an image file for the bundle, this field displays the name of the image file. Otherwise, click Create to create the image file and assign it to image servers.

If the bundle includes any dependent bundles, you can also create and assign an add-on image for the dependent bundles.

Show Bundle Activity

Click Yes to display the bundle activity indicator window during the distribution, installation, verification, and uninstallation of a bundle on the managed device. The user on the managed device cannot close this bundle activity indicator window.

On Windows 2000 devices, the control that indicates the progress of the bundle execution on the managed device is not displayed in the bundle activity indicator window.

Dependency Bundles

Displays None if there are no bundle dependencies for this bundle. If there are dependencies for this bundle, click Display Bundle Dependencies to display a list of additional bundles that are required by this bundle.

The list is for viewing only. To change a bundle dependency, switch to the Actions tab, click the appropriate action (for example, Install or Launch), then locate the Linked Application Bundle or Linked Preboot Bundle. Select the entry and perform the action you want (for example, edit or delete it).

For more information, see Dependency Bundles.

Severity

This field is available only for Linux bundles. It indicates the severity, such as Security, Recommended or Optional.

YUM Service

This field is available only for Linux bundles and Linux Dependency bundles.

Click Create to create a YUM service and assign it to ZENworks Servers in a Management Zone. You can create a YUM service for a bundle and use it on devices that are not managed by ZENworks. Click Help for more information on how to create a YUM service.

When you create the YUM service, the bundle’s Summary page is displayed. The YUM Service field displays the relative path of the repository. The InProgress icon indicates the progress. Click the Summary tab to refresh the page. The Success icon indicates that the service is hosted on the Primary Server. The relative path of the YUM repository is displayed in the YUM Service field.

A yellow Repo is not updated icon is displayed when the repository is not updated with the packages in the bundle.

Click Edit to edit the YUM service details. You can edit the YUM service to add or remove Primary Servers.

3.2.2 Bundle Status

The Bundle Status panel displays a summary of the bundle’s assignment, deployment, and launch status. The User row displays the status of the bundle through assignment to users; the Device row displays the status of the bundle through assignment to devices. A bundle can be directly assigned or assigned through membership in a folder or group. You can click an underlined link in any column to view the status of the individual users and devices to which the bundle is assigned, retry a failed bundle, or export the data to a CSV file.

A bundle’s status is calculated using the status of many events. For example, a device might indicate that the bundle failed when the distribution was successful, but the installation failed. The numbers in the various columns represent an overall view of the bundle’s status.

NOTE:The Bundle Status panel on the bundle’s sandbox or the older versions page does not display the status. However, the Bundle Status panel on the bundle’s published version page displays the status of the bundle’s published version, sandbox, and the older versions.

The bundle status information is separated into the follow groups listed below, which are independent of each other. For example, it is possible for an installation to be successful, but the launch to be unsuccessful.

Assignment Status

The following status information is available:

Targeted: Displays the number of users and devices to which the bundle is assigned.

Devices Effective: Displays the number of devices on which the bundle is effective through a user or device assignment. A bundle is effective for a device if the device meets the system requirements of the bundle. The number of users or devices in the Devices Effective column might be less than the number in the Targeted column because the bundle might be assigned to a device that does not meet the bundle’s system requirements. For example, you might have a Windows bundle assigned to a Linux device, but the bundle is not effective for that device.

Devices Not Effective: Displays the number of devices on which the bundle is not effective through a user or device assignment. If a bundle is not effective for the device, it means that the device does not meet the bundle’s system requirements.

Pending: The pending status for the device displays the number of devices on which the bundle is not yet distributed or executed, such as devices that are switched off. Click the underlined link to display the list of such devices.

Blocked/Targeted: Displays the number of users or devices on which the bundle is blocked from being used out of the targeted number of the users or devices. Click the underlined link to display the list of such users or devices.

Deployment Status

The following status information is available:

Devices Pending: Displays the number of devices on which the bundle is pending. A bundle’s status is pending if the bundle has met the device’s system requirements, but the bundle has not been distributed to the device or the bundle has been distributed to the device but the bundle has not been installed.

Devices Succeeded: Displays the number of devices on which the bundle was successfully distributed and installed.

Devices Failed: Displays the number of devices on which the bundle’s distribution or installation failed.

Launch Status

The following status information is available:

Succeeded: Displays the number of devices on which the application in the bundle was successfully launched.

Failed: Displays the number of devices on which the application in the bundle was not successfully launched.

3.2.3 Message Log

The Message Log panel displays all unacknowledged messages generated for the object. An unacknowledged message is one that you have not yet reviewed and marked as acknowledged.

Status: Displays an icon indicating the type of message: critical, warning, and normal.
Message: Displays a brief description of the event that occurred.
Date: Displays the date and time the event occurred.

NOTE:The Message Log panel on the bundle’s sandbox or the older versions page does not display any messages. However, the Message Log panel on the bundle’s published version page displays the messages of the bundle’s published version, sandbox, and the older versions.

A message remains in the Message Log list until you acknowledge it. You can acknowledge individual messages, acknowledge all messages at one time, or view more information about both acknowledged and unacknowledged messages. The following table explains how to do these tasks:

Task	Steps	Additional Details
Acknowledge a message	Click the message to display the Message Detail Information dialog box. Click Acknowledge.	If you decide that you don’t want to acknowledge the message, click Finished to dismiss the dialog box. This causes the message to remain in the Message Log list.
