The patches shown in the Patches page have different icons indicating their current status. The following table describes the icons for each patch.

Patch Icon

Significance

Icon for disabled patches

Indicates the patches that are disabled.

NOTE:Disabled patches are hidden by default. Use the Include Disabled filter in the Search panel to show these items.

Icon for patches that are not cached

Indicates that only the fingerprint information for the patch has been brought down from the ZENworks Patch Subscription Network. This icon represents the patches that are not cached.

Icon for patches whose download process is pending

Indicates that a download process for the patch bundles associated with the selected patch is pending.

Icon for patches whose download process has started

Indicates that a download process for the patch bundles associated with the selected patch has started. This process caches those patch bundles on your ZENworks Server.

Icon for cached patches

Indicates that the fingerprints and remediation patch bundles necessary to address the patch have been cached in the system. This icon represents the patches that are cached and ready for deployment.

Icon for patches whose download process has encountered an error

Indicates that an error has occurred while trying to download the patch bundle associated with the selected patch.

NOTE:If you choose a patch that does not have cached remediation patch bundles, the deployment process might fail until the cache download is complete. You should download the files from the patch subscription and they must be packaged by ZENworks Configuration Management. Then the icon turns blue. To initiate an immediate download of these packages, select the Update Cache option from the Action menu.
