Patches Page Empty & won't cache unless added in members tab

I just installed 11.3 and turned on Patch Management for the first time last week.
I've watched the demo on Youtube. I've read all the documentation. Something is just wrong with the system. There are no patches listed on the Patches tab under Patch Management.
The only way that I could actually make it download any bundles was to create a Patch Policy. The Patches tab on the policy is also blank. However I noticed that I could create rules and the would actually create a list. However none of them ever got cached. The only way to get them to cache and create the bundles was to add them manually in the members tab. As soon as I did that, all of the bundles downloaded.
However, they still never show up in any of the patches tabs as patched or unpatched. The Recently Released Patches never lists anything either. They aren't patching on any workstations, and there is no reporting on them. I also tried to see if I could create the old baseline instead of a policy, but as no patches ever show up in the patches tab on a workstation group I can't even do that.
I've see the following KB https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7014327 but I don't have those errors in my logs. I definitely ran out of space the very first time I finally got it to download and cache the patches, however I've added a ton more space and I reset the server with the "Reset ZENworks Patch Management Settings" button under Configuration -> Subscription Service Information.
I'm at a total loss here. The documentation is not very good about the process of how it should work after it has been setup and configured.
I also have about 40 patches that list as failed in my status tab. Only 5 of them say "Failed to download one or more packages". The rest of them say "Cache request ignored. You must enable the patch before trying again." So what the heck does that mean? The "Cache request ignored" ones all look like patches that probably don't apply to the few workstations that I have the patch policy applied to. If I hover over the gray icon in the members tab of the patch policy for one of these policies it says it is disabled.
I also noticed that on the primary server assigned to be the patch downloader that the dashboard is essentially blank. However on my other primary server, the dashboard has what looks like dummy data populated in it.
Any hints? Has anyone seen this kind of behavior. I am finding it hard to get information on Patch Management 11.3 on the Internet because it is so new I suppose. Help!

  • SSRS 2008 r2 - the Report Manager won't load unless "/Reports" is added to the DNS entry in address bar

    Need some direction, please.
    We are moving off  SSRS 2005 to a new server with SSRS 2008R2. The old installation (2005) a DNS entry was created "reports" with the ip address and port number simple. In the Configuration manager the Report Manager Virtual Directory
    is "Reports". Website is Default web site. Typing "reports" into the address bar opens up report manager. When this is done the address shows as reports/reports/pages/folder etc.
    The new installation is configured the same(?). DNS entry "reports2" with new ip address and port number. In the Configuration manager the Report manager URL virtual directory is "Reports" URLs: =
    http://servername:port/Reports. The issue is when typing "Reports2" into the address bar the report manager won't open unless "reports" is added to the dns name i.e. http://reports2/reports
    is entered.
    This thread took me to more like kind thread than my searches. Went into IIS in the default web site I added an htm file with a redirect. Then started it, it works. Maybe due to my inexperience but seems counter intuitive as I thought Reporting Services did
    away with any reliance on IIS.

    Hi Urquhart,
    According to your description, if you type "Reports2" in the browser, then you want to redirect to the report manager homepage in SSRS 2008 R2, right?
    In Reporting Services 2008 R2, it uses HTTP.SYS for HTTP access and it’s independent of Internet Information Server(IIS). The role for HTTP.sys in Reporting Services is that, HTTP.sys receive the user's request, and then send it to report server. Report
    Server handle the request(e.g. authenticate the users), and then use HTTP.sys the send HTTP responses again. In a word, HTTP.sys is just a driver, which allow us to communicate the clients(browser) with Report Server without Microsoft Internet Information
    Server(IIS).
    So, since HTTP.SYS doesn’t provide URL redirection function, we are not able to redirect "Reports2" to report manager homepage by default. If we want to use redirect function, we should add a .html file in IIS to redirect the user to the report
    manager.

  • Preview Thumbnails on New Tab page empty only for certain URLs

    When I open a new tab, there are three certain preview thumbnails which are always empty, and there is no way I can make them show up again. They did work in the beginning, but at some time the three previews vanished and never came back.
    I have already tried to empy the cache and reload the sites as suggested here, but the thumbs are still empty. It's always the same three URLs where this happens. I have also cleared the history, opened the sites again and dragged the items from the history menu into a thumbnail - same result.

    The pages may be send by the server with a no-cache or no-store header preventing Firefox to store that pages in the cache.<br />
    Firefox will only generate thumbnails if the page is in the cache.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
    The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.
    *Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
    If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

    My safari,4.1.3 on the bottom says cancelled opening page. have cleared the cache,and reset but it still does it on some pages,not all. Any ideas

    It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
    If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
    Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
    You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

  • Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading sites, it tries to load to Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I stop this?

    Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
    I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
    eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
    This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
    Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
    I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'...

  • CP1518ni on Win7 64 bit won't print unless "override out" is on

    I get the "replace supplies" message and the printer won't print unless the "Override out" is turned on. I replaced the ink cartridges once, then got the "replace supplies" message within days.  I've installed HPPDU which refers to CP1510 series PCL6. the diagnostic screen says everything is fine. I also downloaded the update 20100616.  I noted that the "workaround"  ToolboxFX doesn't work with Win 7.
    What am I missing?  Must I continue printing under "override out" until all four ink cartridges run out completely, then trust that the printer will operate without the override on the future cartridges? Thanks for your help on this.
    Bkaytee
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    1. Which supplies have you replaced? 
         CB540A black, then a week later added the three colors when the supplies low message came back on the printer.  (Primary use of the printer is black text; color used rarely.)
    2. Does the product specify another supply low or out?
         I haven't been able to access a screen which specifies contents of the four cartridges.  The orange light on the product flashes continuously, and won't print.  the message simply says "replace supplies".
    3. How long has this been going on?
         Problem started when the initial cartridges that came with the printer appeared to run out; about 2 months ago (worked fine for 12 months.  The second set of cartridges(full HP cartridges from Office Depot) worked for two weeks or so,since  then we've been using override.
    4. How are you connected the the CP1518ni?
         through direct wire plug into the power strip.
    5. Where are you getting the message, Printer or Computer?
        on the printer; we can't seem to access the screen that used to appear on the computer desktop that showed ink content.

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • I have downloaded the latest pages  update on my iPad, but my iMac still has version 4.3 and I cannot find out how to update it only desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages to via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open P

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

    after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
    before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

    Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
    As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
    Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
    I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

  • Firefox won't open unless i create new profile.

    Well, basically firefox won't start unless i open the profile manager and create and/or use a newly created profile. However, if i try to open firefox again after closing it with the same mozilla profile it just won't start. The mouse will briefly display a loading symbol but nothing happens. Google chrome and internet explorer work just fine if that helps.

    If you check the Windows task manager, is Firefox doing anything in the background, or just frozen?
    You can use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager, and check the Processes tab for firefox.exe. Sometimes Firefox will hang when shutting down, and then be prevented from restarting. Other times, it may hang starting up due to configuration issues. If you don't find firefox.exe at all, that could indicate a silent crash.

  • Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

    Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
    This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations.  On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

    We have had this issue many, many times before including on the latest 3.6 rev. It appears that when the applicationCache has an update triggered by a new manifest file, the browser may still use only its local network cache to check for updates to the files in the manifest, instead of forcing an HTTP request and revalidating both the browser cache and the applicationCache versions of the cached file (seems there is more than one). I have to assume this is a browser bug, as one should not have to frig with server Cache-Control headers and such to get this to work as expected (and even then it still doesn't sometimes).
    The only thing that seems to fix the problem is setting network.http.use-cache to false (default is true) in about:config . This helps my case because we only ever run offline (applicationCache driven) apps in the affected browser (our managed mobile apps platform), but it will otherwise slow down your browser experience considerably.
