zman (1)

Name

zman - The command line interface to manage Novell ZENworks 11 products, including Asset Management, Configuration Management, Endpoint Security Management, and Full Disk Encryption.

Description

The zman command line interface provides quick access to most ZENworks management operations. By utilizing zman commands in scripts, you can automate many ZENworks management tasks.

The following sections provide information about all of the commands provided for the ZENworks 11 SP3 products. The commands apply to all products, with the following exceptions:

  • ZENworks Asset Management commands: Apply only to ZENworks Asset Management.

  • ZENworks Bundle commands: Apply only to ZENworks Configuration Management.

  • ZENworks Imaging commands: Apply only to ZENworks Configuration Management.

  • ZENworks Endpoint Security Management commands: Apply only to ZENworks Endpoint Security Management.

  • ZENworks Full Disk Encryption commands: Apply only to ZENworks Full Disk Encryption.

Syntax

zman <category>-<command> [-options] [arguments]

In general, zman commands have both a short form and a long form. The long form is assembled in the form category-action. For example, the command registration-list lists all registrations in a registration folder. There are many commands, but most of them are easy to remember because they are grouped under categories (workstation, server, bundle, policy, administrator, registration, etc) and most actions (list, create, modify, delete) to perform on them are common.

The abbreviated form of each command uses one letter from each word in the long form. In this manner, admin-list is shortened to al. There are some exceptions to this rule to maintain the uniqueness of the short names. For example, bc is the short form of bundle-create, and bcp is the short form of bundle-copy.

A command takes options and arguments. Options can be specified anywhere in the command. Arguments are dependent on position.

Options

Options are of two types: switches and flagged options. Both have a short and long form. The short form is preceded by a single hyphen and the long form is preceded by two hypens. For example, -n and --namefilter are the short and long forms of a flagged option used to filter the display of results by name for the bundle-list command.

Switch: A parameter that does not take any value. Its presence alone conveys the meaning. For example, specifying the –recursive switch in bundle-list indicates that the contents of the subfolders should also be displayed.

Flagged Option: This parameter is used to set a value for an option. The value is given followed by a space or equals sign after the short or long flag of the option.Example: zman bundle-list -namefilter "bundle*" -r

Arguments

Arguments for a command are usually ordered in the same way as the command itself. For example, for server-add-bundle, the server is named first and the bundle second.

Guide to Usage

This section contains a guide to general command formatting and conventions.

Administrators

Every action in zman is governed by the access limitations of the administrator. The initial Administrator account created during the initial installation has rights to all objects. Additional administrator accounts you create are granted read-only rights by default. These accounts must be explicitly granted rights to any objects they are to manage.

Help

The zman command line interface provides help at several levels. Pipeline the help through the operating system's native more command for scrollable output.

  • At the highest level, lists all the categories of commands available in zman and the global options for the commands.

    Example: zman

  • At the all category level, lists all the commands available in zman organized by categories (workstation, server, bundle, policy, etc.).

    Example: zman -h

  • For each category, lists the commands available specific to that category.

    Example: zman policy /?

  • At each command level, gives usage, detailed help, and examples for a particular command.

    Example: zman policy-list - help

  • -h, and --help are the various help options available.

Folders

If no folder is specified for commands that take a folder argument, the command targets the root folder. To specify a folder path, list each folder from the root separated by a forward slash (/). For example, if you have a folder named folder1 in the root, containing a subfolder named subfolder1, you would reference this folder as folder1/subfolder1. Each specified folder must already exist.

Mandatory and Optional arguments

Arguments enclosed inside parentheses ( ) are mandatory and those enclosed by square brackets [ ] are optional.

Ellipsis (...)

An ellipsis indicates that a command accepts multiple entries of the last argument type. The arguments must be separated by space or commas, depending on the command. For example:

zman server-add-bundle [options] (server) (bundle) [...]

The ellipsis indicates that server-add-bundle can accept multiple bundles. In the command level help, the multiple entry argument help is given as [(bundle) (bundle)... (bundle)] for more clarity.

All commands that have multiple entries of the last argument also have the -f|--folder option. This option is convenient if all the entries of the argument are under the same folder. The path of the entries are calculated relative to this folder path. For example:

zman server-add-bundle server1 bundlefolder/bundle1 bundlefolder/bundle2

can also be given as:

zman server-add-bundle server bundle1 bundle2 --folder bundlefolder

Path of the ZENworks Objects

If the argument required is the path of a ZENworks object, the path must be specified relative to the root folder of that object separated by a forward slash (/), unless it is specified in the command help to enter the absolute path. For example:

zman server-add-bundle serverfolder/server bundlefolder/bundle1

where the absolute paths of the arguments are:

/devices/servers/serverfolder/server and /bundles/bundlefolder/bundle1

Exporting Objects to a File

You can use the zman commands such as bundle-export-to-file, policy-export-to-file, and settings-export-to-file to export bundles, policies, and settings definitions respectively to a specified file in the XML format. The file is created with the specified name and file extension. If the file extension is not specified, the .xml extension is added by default. You can use these files to create bundles, policies, and settings.

zman Service

You can now run zman as service. Running zman as a service enables you to execute zman commands in service mode, which reduces the execution time for the commands.

The zman service commands are grouped within the shell category and are as follows:

zman shell-start-as-service (ssas) [options]

Starts the zman service.

Accepts the following options:

  • -s or --servicePort: Specify the port for the zman server to run. The default port is 2020
zman shell-stop-service (sss)

Stops the zman service.

zman shell-status (ssts)

Displays the zman service status.

To run zman commands as a service, you must do the following:

  • Before starting the zman service, run the zman admin-store-credential(asc) command to save the credentials. The zman service uses the saved credentials to run the zman commands in service mode.

  • If you choose to run any zman command that requires file paths in service mode, you must specify the complete file path instead of the relative file path. By default, the working directory is initialized to the location where the zman service is started.

The following zman commands run as separate processes even when the zman service is up and running:

  • zman shell-stop-service(sss)
  • zman admin-create(ac)
  • zman admin-store-credential(asc)
  • zman certificate-authority-export(cae)
  • zman certificate-authority-import(cai)
  • zman zenserver-backup(zsb)
  • zman zenserver-restore(zsr)

Asset Management Commands

These commands are used to load purchase record files and refresh the compliance engine. They apply only to ZENworks 11 SP3 Asset Management.

(asset-management-import-contract|amic) <-f|--fileName=Filepath>

Imports a contract to a file. The command queues the import task to be processed by the loader. The loader then loads the contracts from the file.

The command is asynchronous, which means that zman returns immediately and does not wait for the import to be complete. This is because the command might run for a long time. You can check the progress of the import by viewing the log file created by the command.

Accepts the following option:

  • -f, --filename=[File path]: Specify the full path of the comma-separated (.csv or .txt) file to be imported.
asset-management-load-purchase-record (amlpr)

Loads a purchase record file. The Purchase Record Loader looks for the purchase record file to load on the primary server in the folder ZENWORKS_HOME/temp/PurchaseRecordImport/uploaded. If you have not yet used the Purchase Record Loader from ZENworks Control Center, you need to create this folder.

This command is asynchronous, which means zman returns immediately and does not wait for the command to complete. This is because the command may run for a long time. You can check the status of this process from ZENworks Control Center.

asset-management-refresh-compliance-data (amrcd)

Runs the software compliance engine to refresh the software license compliance data.

This command is asynchronous, which means zman returns immediately and does not wait for the command to complete. This is because the command may run for a long time. You can check the status of this process from ZENworks Control Center.

Audit Settings Commands

These commands are used to import and export audit configuration details. Audit commands begin with audit- in the long form, or with the letter a in the short form. The following commands accept the option flags listed in the Global Options section. In addition, they accept individual options as listed with each command.

(audit-settings-export-to-file|asetf) [-s|--source=source device or device folder path] [-a|--auditEventStatus=Event status] [-t|--type=Type] [-e|--effective] (XML file path) [<settings name> <settings name>... <settings name>]

Exports change and agent audit event settings to an XML file for a zone, device folder or device level.

-s, --source=<source device or device folder path>: Path of the device or device folder relative to /Devices from which settings have to be exported. If not specified, settings will be exported from the Management Zone level.

-a, --auditEventStatus=<Event status>: Event status enabled, disabled or all. Default is all.-t, --type=<Type>: The event type can be AgentEvents, ChangeEvents or all. The default value is all.-e, --effective: If specified, the effective settings will be retrieved, else only the settings defined or overridden at the source path will be retrieved.

(XML file path): The file into which the settings data will be stored in XML format. If the file does not exist a new file is created.

[settings name][...]: Names of the settings to be exported. If not specified, all settings will be exported. If specified, the effective settings will be retrieved, else, only the settings defined or overridden at the source path will be retrieved.

audit-settings-import-from-file (asiff)[options] (XML file path) [destination device or device folder path][...]

Imports change and agent audit event settings from an XML file, for a zone, device folder or device level.

(XML file path): XML file containing exported settings information. Use audit-settings-export-to-file (asetf) to export settings information into an XML file.[destination device or device folder path][...]: Path of the device or device folder relative to /Devices on which settings have to be set. If not specified, settings will be set at the Management Zone level.

Administrator Commands

These commands are used to create and manage administrator accounts. Administrator commands begin with admin- in the long form or the letter a in the short form.

All of the commands below accept the option flags listed in the Global Options section. In addition, they accept individual options as listed with each command.

admin-clear-credential (acc)

Clears the ZENworks username and password stored by using the admin-store-credential command. It is always safer and is a good practice to delete the stored credentials after you are finished executing the commands.

admin-create (ac) <administrator or user> [options]

Creates a ZENworks administrator account.

<administrator or user> - Name of the administrator or full path of a user in a user source.

Accepts the following options:

  • -f, --fullname=[full name] - Full name of the ZENworks administrator.
  • -a, --assign-same-rights - Gives the new administrator the same rights as the administrator who executes this command.

The command prompts for the password of the administrator, to avoid entering the password in clear text. If the administrator account is based on a user, it uses the same credentials defined in the user source so the command does not prompt for the password.

admin-delete (ad) <ZENworks administrator name> [...]

Deletes a ZENworks administrator account.

<ZENworks administrator name> [...] - Name of the ZENworks administrator. The wildcard * can be used in the object names if it is enclosed in quotation marks. Exercise caution while using wildcards for deleting objects.

Deletes rights assigned to a ZENworks administrator account.

[object path] [...] - Full path of the ZENworks object, starting with a forward slash (/).

Accepts the following option:

  • -c, --category=[rights category] - Name of the category within which the rights are grouped. To see the list of categories, run zman admin-rights-set --Help | more.
admin-rights-info (ari) <ZENworks administrator name> [object path] [options]

  • -c, --category=[rights category] - Name of the category within which the rights are grouped. To see the list of categories, run zman admin-rights-set --Help | more.
  • -e, --effective - Displays the effective rights of the administrator. Effective rights include rights inherited from roles assigned to the administrator. If this option is not specified, rights assigned directly to the administrator are displayed.
  • -l, --longnames - Displays names for the rights. By default, the abbreviated form of the rights name is displayed.
admin-rights-set (ars) <ZENworks administrator name> [rights category] [object path] [...] [options]

Allows or denies rights for a ZENworks administrator account.

[rights category] - Name of the category under which the rights are grouped. To see the list of categories, run zman admin-rights-set --Help | more.

[object path] [...] - Full path of the ZENworks object, starting with forward slash (/), on which the rights should be enforced. To view the root folders of the allowed object types for which rights can be assigned within each rights category, run zman admin-rights-modify --Help | more.

Accepts the following options:

  • -a, --allow=[right][...] - A comma-separated list of long or short names of the rights to be allowed. To view the rights for each category, run zman admin-rights-set --Help | more.
  • -A, --allow-all - Allows all rights of the Rights category.
  • -d, --deny=[right][...] - A comma-separated list of long or short names of the rights to be denied. To view the rights of each category, run zman admin-rights-set --Help | more.
  • -D, --deny-all - Denies all rights of the Rights category.
  • -f, --folder=[folder name] - Full path of a folder. If specified, the path of the objects is determined relative to this folder. This can be used to specify multiple objects under the same folder.
  • -H, --Help - Displays detailed help about the categories of rights available, and the long and short form of rights names within each category. If a category name is specified, help is provided for that category.
admin-store-credential (asc) <ZENworks administrator name>

Stores the ZENworks username and password for use with every command so credentials need not be entered for every command. The credentials are stored on the home directory of the logged-in user and are used only for that logged-in user. In Linux, ensure that the user has a home directory. If you share the same machine login with other ZENworks administrators, you must clear your credentials by using the admin-clear-credential command after you are finished executing commands.

Batch Command

The batch command is a utility command used to execute a list of zman commands from a text file. The commands are executed faster because logging into ZENworks is done only once and not for every command. Batch commands begin with batch- in the long form, or with the letter b in the short form.

This command accepts the option flags listed in the Global Options section. In addition, it accepts individual options as listed with the command.

batch-execute (bex) (file path) [...] [options]

Executes zman commands from text files in a batch (not to be confused with Windows batch files).

(file path) [...] - The path of the text files containing zman commands to be executed. Lines starting with #, rem, REM, ; and // are considered as comments, and are not processed. For a sample file, refer to BatchExecuteCommands.txt located in /opt/novell/zenworks/share/zman/samples/batch on a Linux server or Installation_path:\Novell\Zenworks\share\zman\samples\batch on a Windows server.

Accepts the following option:

  • -e, --exit-on-failure - Stops executing the commands and exits if a command fails partially or totally. A command is said to partially fail for commands that take multiple arguments when the processing of one or more of the arguments was not successful. For example, for bundle-delete, the command is said to partially fail if one of the arguments could not be found or deleted. By default, the commands in the file are executed continuously without checking for failure.

Examples:

  • To execute zman commands in multiple files:

    zman bex c:\filetxt c:\filetxt

    The files are executed in the order of input.

  • To execute zman commands in multiple files but exit when a command fails:

    zman bex /home/user1/file1 /home/user1/file2 -e

    The files are executed in the order of input.

Bundle Commands

These commands are used to create, modify and manage bundles. Bundle commands begin with bundle- in the long form, or with the letter b in the short form.

All of the commands below accept the option flags listed in the Global Options section. In addition, they accept individual options as listed with each command. These commands apply only to ZENworks 11 SP3 Configuration Management.

bundle-add-actions (baa) (bundle path) (action XML file) [...] [options]

Adds actions to a bundle.

(action XML file) [...] - The XML files that contain information for actions to be added. The actions are grouped under one of these action sets: Distribution, Install, Launch, Verify, Uninstall, Terminate. The XML file contains an ActionSet element that contains information of actions to be added for an action set. Multiple XML files can be given as input to add actions to different action sets of the bundle. The XML files can be created by exporting actions of an existing bundle using the bundle-export-actions command.

Accepts the following option:

  • -a, --actioninfo=[content and dependency for actions] - XML file containing content and bundle dependency information for actions that have file content or dependency on another bundle. For example, for Install MSI Action, the MSI file to be installed is the file content. Install Bundle Action takes another bundle as dependency so this data also needs to be specified for proper functioning of these actions. For the XML format template, refer to ActionInfo.xml located in /opt/novell/zenworks/share/zman/samples/bundles on a Linux server or Installation_directory:\Novell\Zenworks\share\zman\samples\ bundles on a Windows server.

NOTE:If you choose the action set type as Uninstall, the following options are not supported for Linux bundles and Linux Patch bundles: DaysBeforeUninstallWhenNotUsed, DisplayUninstallMessage, IgnoreUninstallAfterUnassociation, IgnoreChainedDependencies, and AllowToCancelUninstall.

ZENworks Server Commands

These commands are used to manage servers that have ZENworks 11 SP3 installed. ZENworks Server commands begin with zenserver- in the long form, or with the letters zs in the short form.

zenserver-backup (zsb) (file path) [Passphase]

Backs up the configuration files needed to duplicate this server on another ZENworks Server.

  • (file path) - Path to the file to which the ZENworks Server configuration files are backed up. If the server contains the embedded database, use the database-backup command to back up the database. To restore the server on another server installation, you must first restore the configuration files by using the zenserver-restore command, and then restore the database. The command prompts for a passphrase to encrypt the backed-up file. Make a note of the specified passphrase because you need to enter it for restoring the server.
  • [Passphase] - Path of the file to which the ZENworks Server configuration files are backed up. If the server contains the embedded database, use the database-backup command to back up the database. To restore the server on another server installation, you must first restore the configuration files by using the zenserver-restore command, and then restore the database. The command prompts for a passphase to encrypt the backup files.
zenserver-restore (zsr) (file path) [Passphase]

Restores the backed-up configuration files of the crashed ZENworks Server to a new ZENworks Server installation.

  • (file path) - Path to the file containing the backed-up configuration files to be restored. The server should have the same DNS name and the IP address as the server that is being restored. When the command prompts for a passphrase to decrypt the backed-up file, enter the passphrase that was used to encrypt the files when they were backed up.
  • [Passphase] - Path of the file to which the ZENworks Server configuration files are backed up. If the server contains the embedded database, use the database-backup command to back up the database. To restore the server on another server installation, you must first restore the configuration files by using the zenserver-restore command, and then restore the database. The command prompts for a passphase to encrypt the backup files.

Global Options

The following options can be applied to any zman command:

-h, --help

Provides help at various levels. Refer to the Guide to Usage section for more details on using help.

--usage

Displays the syntax of the command.

--terse

Displays terse output.

--debug

Displays debugging output.

-V , --verbose

Enables verbose output.

--quiet

Quiets output, printing only error messages.

-U, --User=<username>

Provides a username. If it is not provided, you are prompted.

-P, --Password=<password>

Specifies a password. If it is not provided, you are prompted.

---host=<host>

Specifies the host name or IP address to connect to (default: localhost).

--port=<port>

Specifies the port that the server is listening on (default: 443).

--cleartext

Disables SSL for debugging purposes. If the port is not set to the clear text port, it connects to port 80 by default.

-R, --Redirect=<file path>

Redirects the output of the screen to a file. Use this option over the command line redirection operator (>) to save data in UTF-8 format and to preserve non-English characters.

-G, --ignore-global-file

Ignore the global options file specified in zman-config.properties.

Security

Running each command requires administrator authorization. To avoid entering administrator credentials for every command, use the admin-store-credential command to store the credentials. The credentials are encrypted and stored in the home folder of the operating system user running the command. The credentials only apply to that logged-on user. It is safer to clear the information by running the admin-clear-credential command after the execution of all the other commands is done.

IMPORTANT:Although command line options for entering usernames and passwords exist, avoid using them. In Linux, they display in the ps listing. In addition, pressing the Up-arrow or Down-arrow keys displays the previous commands entered in both Windows and Linux. Either enter the credentials when prompted or use the admin-store-credential command.

Files

zman-config.properties is a property file used to configure zman and is located in the following locations:

  • On Windows: %ZENWORKS_HOME%\conf\zman\properties

  • On Linux: /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/zman/properties

The various options available are:

  • RENDERER_SCROLLSIZE: Controls the output of a list command globally. Results are retrieved and displayed in counts of scroll size specified. This setting can be overridden by using the --scrollsize option in the list commands.

  • GLOBAL_OPTIONS_FILE: Global options can be added to every command by storing them in a file and specifying the path of the file as the value to this property. For Windows files, use \\ instead of \. The contents of the file should be in a single line similar to a command.

    For example:

    GLOBAL_OPTIONS_FILE=C:\\zman\\globaloptions.txt
    

    Sample content for the file is as follows:

    --host 123.34.45.56 --port 8080 –cleartext --verbose
    

    To bypass the options stored in this file, use the –ignore-global-file option. All the global options except, -U|--User and -P|--Password can be stored in the global options file. The admin-store-credential and admin-clear-credential commands should be used to add administrator credentials to each command. Refer to the Security section for guidelines on using administrator credentials.

  • GLOBAL_OPTIONS_HELP: Global options for the commands are displayed in the help for every command. To turn off the display of global options, set GLOBAL_OPTIONS_HELP=false.

  • DEBUG_LEVEL: Controls the volume of debug messages logged into the zman.log file located in Installation_drive:\Novell\zenworks\logs in Windows and /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks in Linux. Level 3, which is the default, logs the command entered and exception stack traces if any errors are encountered. Level 4 logs the command entered, the output of the command, and more debug messages.
