abstract

When using zac cdp-import-content (cic) in ZCM 10.3 to import content for a Content Distribution Point, the command may fail to find missing content for the Default schedule type. This happens because the wrong type is getting sent to the server. As such, it may not find all the missing content to import.

details

Overview:
This applies to all Linux Satellite Servers on ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.0 where the user wishes to import content on the Satellite Server using zac cdp-import-content (cic) command.

Installation:
1. Stop the ZENworks agent service on the Linux Satellite Server:

/etc/init.d/novell-zenworks-xplatzmd stop


2. Make a backup copy of the existing jar file:

cd /opt/novell/zenworks/java/lib/plugins/

mv content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar content-distribution-10.3.0.0.orig


3. Copy the new content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar (this assumes it was saved to /root/content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar):

cp /root/content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar /opt/novell/zenworks/java/lib/plugins/

chmod 755 /opt/novell/zenworks/java/lib/plugins/content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar


4. Start the ZENworks agent service:

/etc/init.d/novell-zenworks-xplatzmd start --osgiclean


Uninstalling:
1. Stop the ZENworks agent service on the Linux Satellite Server:

/etc/init.d/novell-zenworks-xplatzmd stop


2. Copy the original jar file back into place:

cd /opt/novell/zenworks/java/lib/plugins/

mv content-distribution-10.3.0.0.orig content-distribution-10.3.0.0.jar


4. Start the ZENworks agent service:

/etc/init.d/novell-zenworks-xplatzmd start --osgiclean


Known Problems and Limitations:
If you wish to perform an offline import of a content repository containing SystemUpdate-Agent or Imaging content (addon images), you must first create a schedule for each type before it can be imported. All other types will import with the Default schedule.
