Description: Displays a short description of the bundle's contents. This description
displays in the ZENworks Control Center interface and in the ZENworks Linux
Management Update Client, which is the user interface. You can edit the description.
Enforce Persistence: (Selected by default.) If this option is selected, the packages inside
the RPM bundle are initially installed according to the bundle's schedule and the packages
are reinstalled on assigned devices if they are removed in the future. If this option is not
selected, the packages are installed initially according to schedule, but the packages are
not checked to see if they have been removed from assigned devices and the packages are
never reinstalled. This option applies to RPM bundles only; it does not apply to preboot,
file, or Dell Update Package (DUP) bundles.
3b Review the information in the Packages section, then make the desired configuration
changes.
The
Packages section displays the RPM packages contained in the selected bundle. Use
the Packages section to upload RPM packages to the bundle, to import RPM packages
contained in the ZENworks Linux Management package repository, or to remove
packages from a bundle. The packages that you upload to a bundle must already exist on
the local device on which you are running the ZENworks Control Center, or you can
import packages from the package repository.
You can use the following options:
Upload RPM: Click Add > Upload RPM to open the RPM File Upload dialog box. For
more information, see Step 6a on page 220 .
Import from repository: Click Add > Import from repository to open the Package Import
dialog box. For more information, see Step 6b on page 222 .
Remove: Click Remove to remove the selected packages from the bundle, as needed. The
packages removed from the deployed version of the bundle are uninstalled from the
managed devices only when a new version of the bundle is deployed.
To remove the patch RPMs from the YOU patch bundle, you must first create a copy of
the YOU patch bundle, then remove the patches from the copied version of the bundle.
To create a copy of the YOU patch bundle:
1. Click the Copy button located at the top of the page.
2. In the Copy dialog box, specify a name for the copy version.
3. Click
OK .
You cannot install the copied version of the YOU patch bundle if it contains only scripts.

of the package is already installed on the device. You can use the Freshen option in
conjunction with the Auto-Detect, Update, or Install options available in

transacted regardless if the package is already installed on the device or not.
Edit: Click Action > Edit to display the RPM File Upload dialog box where you can
change the selected package's install type and Freshen option.
Install type: Click Action > Edit > Install Type to use the Install type drop-down list to
