Install option functionality (explained below) is best, and then performs that
operation. Any kernel packages are installed using the Install option functionality;
other packages are installed using the Update option functionality. This is the default
option and should be used in most situations.
Š
Update: Updates the packages on assigned devices if the packages in the bundle are
newer than what is installed on the devices. If the packages are not installed on the
assigned devices, ZENworks Linux Management installs them. With the
Update
option, you don't need to worry whether a package is already installed because the
package is either updated (if needed) or installed on the device. Parallel installation
of a package is not possible with the
Update option.
Š
Install: Installs the bundle on all assigned devices. If previous versions of the
packages exist on the devices, ZENworks Linux Management does not update the
existing packages. As a result, packages can be installed multiple times (parallel
installations), which might cause overlap issues. This option is rarely used; you
should use the default option,
Auto-detect , under most circumstances. You should use
this option almost exclusively to install kernel packages.
Freshen (upgrade only if installed): Use this option to transact a package only if a
previous version 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.
NOTE: To view details about each package, click the desired package in the Name
column.
3c Review the information in the Scriptable Actions section, then make the desired
configuration changes.
As part of the process of distributing a bundle, ZENworks Linux Management can launch
scriptable actions that will be executed before and after the bundle is distributed, installed,
and uninstalled. For example, you can get data files from a Web server before installing an
application that uses them, run applications, and so forth.
Each action displays the script engine that was specified when the bundle was created. To
create a new action, click
New to display the Scriptable Action dialog box. For detailed
instructions, see Step 9 on page 218 .
4 Click Apply to save any changes you have made.
20.6 Adding Bundles to Catalogs
Instructions to add bundles to existing catalogs are included in the Using Catalogs section. For more
information, see Section 22.4, “Adding Bundles to Catalogs,” on page 274 .
20.7 Creating Folders
You can use the ZENworks Control Center or the zlman command line utility to create folders. The
following procedure explains how to perform this task using the ZENworks Control Center. If you
prefer the zlman command line utility, see
zlman (1) (page 547) .
A folder is an organization object that displays in the ZENworks Control Center interface, which is
the administrative tool for ZENworks Linux Management. A folder can contain various objects,
including subfolders, Bundle, Bundle Group, and Catalog objects.
