6.0 Update Statuses

The following update statuses can be displayed in the Status column of several System Update panels in ZENworks Control Center:

Aborted: The deployment of the update was stopped, such as by selecting Action > Cancel Deployment.

Applied: The update was successfully applied to the managed devices.

Available: Updates with this status have downloaded the information about the update, which you can view by clicking the update name in the Update ID column.

Awaiting Reboot: The device is waiting for you to manually reboot after the update has been applied.

Rebuilding Deployment Packages: From ZENworks 2020 Update 3 onwards, the Network (.NET required) and Standalone (.NET required) packages for Windows and Network (JRE required) for Linux are no longer supported.

An administrator user can download the ZENworks Agent package (web-installer.exe) from the ZENworks Server.

You can now download a lightweight network installer .zip file from the ZENworks setup page and then execute it to install the full ZENworks agent. The Network installer .zip file contains Micro Focus signed web installer file and a config file containing the ZENworks server URLs and Zone CA certificate.

NOTE:Only All Architecture is supported for the network packages. During the system update, ZENworks uses the configuration of all architecture or x86_64 (64-bit) or x86 (32-bit) to rebuild an All Architecture version, and the existing x86 (32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit) will be removed for custom packages. Precedence for choosing the existing custom package for rebuilding will be in the order of all architecture, x86_64 (64-bit) and then x86 (32-bit).

Only the Standalone (.NET included) package is available. During the system update, ZENworks uses the configuration of either Standalone (.NET included) or Standalone (.NET required) to rebuild the Standalone (.NET included) package. Standalone (.NET included) takes higher precedence for rebuilding. The existing Standalone (.NET required) package will be removed.

Baselined: The update has been assigned to the /Devices folder, meaning that all new devices added to the Management Zone automatically get the update, unless they are already at that update level. When an update is baselined, any packages (MSIs and RPMs) that were updated by the system update have been deleted and replaced with the new packages. A baselined update is considered complete; although, individual devices could have been ignored.

Canceled: Displays after you select Action > Cancel Download and the download or deployment was successfully canceled.

Canceling: Temporarily displays after you select Action > Cancel Download.

Deploying: The update is currently being deployed. See Section 3.0, Deploying Updates for further deployment information and for actions that you can take on an update that is being deployed.

Downloaded: You have downloaded the update’s content and it is ready for deployment. See Section 3.0, Deploying Updates for further deployment information and for actions that you can take on an update that has been deployed.

Downloading: Displays a percentage of completion during the downloading process. This status changes to Downloaded when the download is complete.

Error: The stage failed to complete because of an error with one or more of the devices being updated. You can select to ignore the error and continue, or to fix the error before continuing. This status can also indicate an error in downloading the update.

In Process: That the current stage is active.
