I've been running into some issues with updating ConfigMgr Applications. Basically, if I create an application and deploy it (as available), I can see it and run it on clients. If I change the application after deployment, however, the clients seem to get confused and refuse to run it, saying "Software Center cannot retrieve the information you requested". I've seen this when I've updated the content on a deployment type, or changed other deployment type settings (adding a dependency, etc).
I grepped all of the client logs for the application I'm currently working on and saw a few weird things. The new revision of my application is revision 4. I can see in CIStateStore that revision 4 is detected and the policy is downloaded. When I try to run the application in Software Center, DCMAgent is showing that it is trying to install version 3, but is unable to find the policy for that version <![LOG[Request to enforce application CamTrax 2013(ScopeId_4940E253-6969-4D79-96A6-35CE4114901D/Application_988e81be-e60a-4241-aaac-a8dd587155d6.3) immediately for target: machine with action(s): Evaluation, Install, Update]LOG]!><time="11:30:45.175+420" date="06-06-2014" component="DCMAgent" context="" type="1" thread="7360" file="dcmagent.cpp:1601"> <![LOG[CDCMAgent::EnforceApplicationForTarget - Application CI ScopeId_4940E253-6969-4D79-96A6-35CE4114901D/Application_988e81be-e60a-4241-aaac-a8dd587155d6.3 must have at least one Application Policy CI]LOG]!><time="11:30:45.454+420" date="06-06-2014" component="DCMAgent" context="" type="3" thread="7360" file="dcmagent.cpp:1651"> Thus far, I've been unable to fix one of these applications. I've tried removing and recreating deployments, clearing and refetching policy via PolicySpy, both of which have not made a difference. Uninstalling/reinstalling the client does work. Deleting the application from ConfigMgr and recreating it also works, though the old application still exists in Software Center. Has anyone seen this before? Or have any idea how to fix it.
