19.4 Canceling or Deleting a System Update

You can cancel the downloading of an update, or you can delete the update from the Available System Updates list.

To cancel an update:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click Configuration in the left pane, then click the System Updates tab.

    Available System Updates panel with Action options displayed
  2. Select the check box for a system update that is being downloaded, then click Action > Cancel Download.

    Cancelling an update cancels the downloading of an update. Already downloaded files are not automatically removed, but if you delete the update, any downloaded files are removed.

If a server’s connection to the ZENworks database is lost while downloading an update, the download does not resume after reconnecting. Attempting to use the Cancel Download action results in the update hanging in the Cancel state. Use the zman sudu --force command to delete the update.

To delete an update:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click Configuration in the left pane, then click the System Updates tab.

    Available System Updates panel with Action options displayed
  2. Select the check box for the system update that you want to delete, then click Action > Delete Update.

    Deleting an update removes it from the list and all downloaded files are removed. However, if the deleted update is still available on the update server the next time that you check for updates, it is displayed in the list again for possible downloading.

  3. Click OK to confirm the deletion.
