About the Properties Tab


Use the Proper t ies tab to view basic statistical information about a sequenced application package. The information is automatically generated unless

otherwise noted. This tab contains the following elements.

Package Information

Package Name

The single name used for a sequenced application package that might contain one or more applicationsfor example, Microsoft Office could beused to label a sequenced application package that contains Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel applications that run in the same virtual

environment.

C o m m e n t s

Displays a short description of the software package that will appear in the Open Software Descriptor (OSD) file ABSTRACT element. This item is

optional.

Package Vers ion

The sequenced application package version.

Package GUI D

The globally unique identifier (GUID) automatically assigned to the sequenced application package to distinguish it from other sequenced application

packages that might be running on the computer to which a sequenced application package is streamed.

Package Version GUI D

The sequenced application package version GUID.

Root D i rectory

The directory on the sequencing computer in which files for the sequenced application package are installed. This directory is also created on thecomputer to which a sequenced application package will be streamed. It is recommended for backwards compatibility that this be an 8.3 format

directory name at the root of the Q drive, such as Q:\MyApp.1\.

CreatedThe date and time the sequenced application package was created.

Modi f ied

The date and time the sequenced application package was last modified.

Package Size

The size of the package in megabytes.

Launch Size

The size in megabytes of the portion of the SFT file that is required to start the application.

Sequencing Parameters

Block Size

Specifies the size of the primary and secondary feature blocks into which the SFT file is divided for streaming across a network. All blocks equal

the specified size; however, the last block might be smaller than specified. You will see one of the following values:

4 KB

16 KB

32 KB

64 KB

After the initial package has been created, the block size value is not changeable.

Note


How to Change Package Properties


You can use the following procedures to modify an Application Virtualization package name and its associated comments.

If this is the first time the package has been created, you can also change the sequencing parameter block size, which determines how a sequenced

application package is streamed from an Application Virtualization Server to an Application Virtualization Desktop Client.

When selecting a block size, consider the size of the SFT file and your network bandwidth. A file with a smaller block size takes longer to stream overthe network, but it is less bandwidth intensive. Files with larger block sizes might stream faster, but they use more network bandwidth. Through

experimentation, you can discover the optimum block size for streaming applications on your network.

The remainder of the package properties on the Proper t ies tab is automatically generated and cannot be modified on this tab.

To change the package name or comments

1. Click the Proper t ies tab.

2. In the Package Name text box, enter or edit the single name used for the package, which can contain multiple applications.

3. In the C o m m e n t s text box, optionally enter or edit any comments. The suggested best practice is to provide detail information about the package

and sequencing.

4. From the File menu, select Save .

To change the block size

1. Click the Proper t ies tab.

2. On the Block Size drop-down list, select 4 KB , 16 KB, 32 KB, or 64 KB.

About the Deployment Tab

Updated: December 1, 2008


Use the D ep loymen t tab in the Application Virtualization Sequencer Console to change the information for an application you are about to sequence.

This tab contains the following elements.

Server URL

Use the Server URL controls to specify the virtual application server configuration settings.

Co nt ro l Descr ip tion

Protoco l

Enables you to select the protocol that will stream the sequenced application package from a virtual application server to an Application

Virtualization Desktop Client. The following protocols are available:

RTSPThe default, it specifies that the Real-Time Streaming Protocol controls the exchange of virtualization-enabled applications.

RTSPSSpecifies that the Real-Time Streaming Protocol with Transport Layer Security controls the exchange of a sequenced

application package.

FileSpecifies that the sequenced application will be streamed from a file share.

HTTPSSpecifies that Secure Hypertext Transport Protocol controls the exchange of a package.

H o s t n a m e

Enables you to select the virtual application server or the load balancer in front of a group of virtual application servers that will stream the

software package to an Application Virtualization Desktop Client. You must complete this item to create a sequenced application package,

but you can change from the default %SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER% environment variable to the actual hostname or IP address of a virtual

application server.

If you choose not to specify a static hostname or IP address, on each Application Virtualization Desktop Client you must set up an

environment variable called SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER. Its value must be the hostname or IP address of the virtual application server or load

balancer that is this client's source of applications. You should make this environment variable a system variable rather than a user

variable. Any Application Virtualization Desktop Client session that is running on this computer during your assignment of this variable

must be closed and then opened so that the resumed session will be aware of its new application source.

PortEnables you to specify the port on which the virtual application server or the load balancer will listen for an Application Virtualization Desktop

Client's request for the package. This information is required to create a package, but you can change it. The default port is 554.

Path

Enables you to specify the relative path on the virtual application server where the software package is stored and from which it will be

streamed. This information is required to create a package if the SFT file will be stored in a subdirectory of CONTENT; otherwise, this

information is not required.

Operating Systems

Use the O pera t i ng Sys tems controls to specify the application's operating system requirements. If an Application Virtualization Desktop Client cannot

support any of the selected operating systems, the application will not start.

Con t r o ls Descr ip t ion

Avai lab le Operat ing Systems Displays a list of operating systems that can support the applications in the package.

Selected Operat ing Systems Displays a list of selected operating systems that support the applications in the package.

Output Options

Use the O utpu t O p t i ons controls to specify the output options for the application to be installed.

Con t r o l Descr ip t ion

Compress ion

Algor i thm

Use to select the method for compressing the SFT file for streaming across a network. Select one of the following compression

methods:

C ompressedSpecifies that the SFT file be compressed in the ZLIB1 format.

Not Compressed The default specifies that the SFT file not be compressed.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=111475http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx


10/30


Enforce Secur i ty

Descr ip torsSelect to enforce security descriptors of the applications in the package after it is deployed to the client.

Generate Microsof t

W indow s I ns ta ll e r

(MSI) Package

About the Virtual Registry Tab


A virtual registry is created during sequencing. The Vir tua l Regis t ry tab displays all the registry keys and values that are required for a sequenced

application package to run. Use this tab to add, edit, and delete registry keys and registry values.

You can also choose to ignore the hosting systems keys by selecting Overr ide Local Key , or you can create a merged view of the key from within the

virtual environment by selecting Merge w i t h Local Key .

The changes to the virtual registry Set t ings tab affect applications that are part ofthe specific sequenced application package, but they do not affect

the operation of other applications that are streamed to or locally ins talled on the Application Virtualization Desktop Client.

Exercise caution when changing virtual registry keys and values. Changing these keys and values might render your sequenced application package

inoperable.

The left pane of the Vir tua l Regis t ry tab displays the full list of virtual registries created during the sequencing of an application.

Columns

N a m e

The name for the entry in the virtual registry.
