8.6 Bundle Behavior Based on Content Pre-cach Settings

When you created a bundle in earlier versions of ZENworks, the bundle inherited the content replication settings from its parent folder by default. However, with the introduction of Bundle Change Management, the behavior has been changed. For more information on this change, see the following table:

Task

Information

Creating a bundle (not as a sandbox)

The new bundle inherits the settings from its parent folder by default.

Creating a bundle as a sandbox

The new bundle neither inherits settings from its parent folder nor does it replicate content by default.

To replicate the content on new Primary Servers:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the bundle.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Click Pre-Cached Content.

  4. In the Pre-Cached Content panel, select the required Primary or Satellite Servers.

To replicate the content on new Satellite Servers:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the bundle.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Click Pre-Cached Content.

  4. In the Pre-Cached Content panel, select the required Primary or Satellite Servers.

Creating a sandbox from a published version or an older version of the bundle

The sandbox version of the bundle neither inherits settings from its parent folder nor does it replicate content by default.

To replicate the content on new Primary and Satellite Servers:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the bundle.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Click Sandbox Settings.

  4. In the Sandbox Content Replication panel, select the Sync Sandbox Content to Content Servers option.

NOTE:If precaching is disabled in the zone, or bundle level, then irrespective of the status of the Sync Sandbox Content to Content Servers option under Bundles Level, the content will not be replicated and will be served using the ondemand method.

Publishing a bundle to create a new bundle as a sandbox

If you publish a bundle to create a new bundle with the Create as Sandbox option selected then the new bundle is created as a sandbox. The new bundle neither inherits settings from its parent folder nor does it replicate content by default.

To replicate the content on new Primary Servers:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the bundle.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Click Pre-Cached Content.

  4. In the Pre-Cached Content panel, select the required Primary or Satellite Servers.

If you want to replicate the content on new Satellite Servers, do the following:

  1. Click the Bundle.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Click Pre-Cached Content.

  4. In the Pre-Cached Content panel, select the required Primary or Satellite Servers.

NOTE:If precaching is disabled in the zone, or bundle level, then irrespective of the status of the Sync Sandbox Content to Content Servers option under Bundles Level, the content will not be replicated and will be served using the ondemand method.

Publishing a bundle to create a new bundle (not as a sandbox)

The settings of the new bundle depend on the source bundle from which it has been created.

  • If you publish a sandbox-only bundle whose replication settings have not been modified, the new bundle inherits settings from the parent folder.

  • If you publish a sandbox-only bundle whose replication settings have been modified, the modified replication settings are copied to the new bundle.

  • If you publish a sandbox that has been created from a published version or an older version of a bundle, the content replication settings from the published version of the source bundle are copied to new bundle.
