Environment
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
Situation
The ZENworks 7 to 10 migration utility failed to create correct actions for custom shortcuts. Example from ConsoleOne:
Distributions Options > Icons > Shortcuts.
%TARGET_PATH%\test\Publications\Views.exe
Parameters:
-cSOFTWARE\TEST "C:\Program Files\test folder\test\Publications\somedocument"
-cSOFTWARE\TEST "C:\Program Files\test folder\test\Publications\somedocument"
Note the use of quotes in the parameter above.
Additional Information
This is fixed in version 10.3.2 - see KB 7007237 "ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
Workaround for other versions:
The action for custom shortcuts are migrated as a VB script. Open the VB script action and modify the VB code. Where instances of quote character are found, escape them with preceeding double quote.
Example:
"-cSOFTWARE\TEST ""C:\Program Files\test folder\test\Publications\somedocument"""
