This article describes about how to deploy streamed apps on Citrix XENAPP Server.
The Citrix administrator installs the Workspace Streaming Agent on the Citrix server and the Citrix user launches applications from the Citrix server. Citrix and Streaming System share the same data source for authentication (Microsoft Active Directory or other LDAPserver), administrator should first provision a streamed application through the Streaming Console, and then through the Citrix Delivery Services Console.
To access provision Information use the following steps
Note: The systemtray shortcut of Workspace Streaming Agent will not be part of the desktop Session when used under the Citrix configuration. And also the GUI component of Workspace Streaming Agent will not be available for the end users.
Now you have published applications for streaming from XenApp, they are accessible to users. Accessing applications can be done in 2 ways - using a web browser or using Citrix Receiver client software. To access applications, follow the steps below.
Note: When a user clicks the crimson editor application from their XP machine, the application will get streamed in their Citrix XenApp server and the license get consumed for that package on the SWS server. It will display the citrix server machines hostname in the SWS console Consumed Licenses - Host based page.
If an administrator provisions a streamed application Citrix Delivery Services Console alone., the user will not be able to launch the application and the following error will be displayed as mentioned in the screen shot.
If an administrator provisions a streamed application in the streaming console alone, the user will not be able to see the applications shortcut in the client's desktop and Start menu programs.
Good Document
Hi Meenakshi Sundaram
I enjoyed reading this article since this parcely does what i want to do, creating my own shortcuts to my applications.
I was only missing 1 thing for this article to be excactly what i want, doing this offline. The thing is i can without problems create this link but it won't work offline.
(the pre-cache icon function can't be used because i want the start icon to be outside the package)
Do you know if this can be achieved?
Kind Regards Morten Leth
Fantastic Work Meenakshi! Good Starter for any person without any prior knowlege of Citrix
