Citrix App v Client Cache Issues

Hello,
I am having a few issues with the app v client cache on my 2008 R2 Citrix servers. All the servers have a 40GB dedicated virtual HD for caching. I have nine Citrix servers and a test server that are all built the exact same. I have been using the test server
to test the published apps before publishing them out to citrix.
The issue is that while I was publishing the apps through app v the apps were being published to all the machines. The only machine that i was regularly clearing the cache on during the testing period was my test server. The citrix server had all those
different versions being published to them without clearing the old application.
Now i am seeing that the test server is the only server caching apps properly. The citrix servers will load older broken versions of the apps even after the apps have been cleared and then refreshed and reloaded.
I will include the steps i have tried to solve this issue below. I apologize if my post is not crystal clear, but if you have questions feel free to ask. Any help is appreciated.
1. Clear apps from cache by right clicking on the app in the app v client on the problem server and selecting delete.
2. Set the registry key HKLM/software/wow6432node/microsoft/softgrid/4.6/client/Appfs/state to 0 to clear the cached and rebooted with no change.
3.I have manually removed all the files saved on the cache drive and had them re added by re loading all the apps.
4. I used the global remove command - sftmime.exe /remove obj:app /complete /global
Thanks,
Mike P.

Dear Mike
We have similar issues with the App-V Client cache on App-V 4.6SP3 with XenApp 5. The main issue seemed to be applciations getting trapped in the cache and then not clearing out correctly.
My soultion was as to remove the app-v client from the base image (this gets rid of the cache), clear out the app-v folders just in case then reinstall it to start the cache from scratch.
We have a PVS environment with a standard image so it was fairly simple to do and I used a startup script to reinstall the app-v client and load in the apps everytime our provisioned servers are rebooted ensuring a clean app-v cache every reboot.
Hope this helps.

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

HT203071 How does the clients (iOS devices) to configure/use the caching server to download apps from local caching server instead of App store?

Hi ... How does the clients (iOS devices) to configure/use the caching server to download apps from local caching server instead of App store?

Hi,
If you want to restore a reomoved app,you need to use
Add-AppxPackage to add a signed app package (.appx) to a user account.
But we cannot extract them from the ISO.
The behavior is by design.And this is a software protection regime.
Thanks for your understanding.

App V Visio 2010 issues with App V Client 4.6 SP2

I have a Visio 2010 Pro x86 package that was sequenced using App V 4.6 SP1 on Windows 7 x86. I deploy the package to a Windows 7 x64 system running App V Client 4.6 SP2 using SCCM 2010 and can successfully open VSD files from Sharepoint 2010.
If I deploy to the same machine using App V 4.6 Management server instead of SCCM 2010, I receive error "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" when trying to open the exact same VSD file. The Visio package is the same
on SCCM and Management server. The only difference on the machine is the deployment method of the AppV application. Any suggestions on why this is?

Mail app keeps re-caching all messages when it starts

Hello
In past 10 days i have a very big problem which gives me headaches already. The problem is ( i did not change anything!) mail.app keeps re-caching all messages and attachments everytime i start the app. I have over 40.000+ mails so you do the math about how my bandwith eaten by the app. As i said i did not change anything. Anyway after searching dozens of forums and suggestions i did these steps:
- removed MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 files. No fix alsa mail.app won't create new ones since then
- removed whole cache, files, folders and accounts and re add them. No fix
- Clean install of mavericks. No fix
- Tried other apps like airmail, sparrow. Kinda no fix because airmail wont download whole messages only 1 month period even i choose to have all messages. Sparrow keeps giving error of unable to locate folders on the server. Only my windows thunderbird client works like a charm, there is no any issue at all but i hate windows.
- some terminal commands before clean install which i really dont remember due to high number of commands. By the way i am using IMAP settings
I really need a help here. I am talking about huge number of mails which are very important for me.
Thank you

Please read this whole thread:
Mail keeps downloading everything over and over.

Possible session caching issue in SSRS2014

Using custom FormsAuth, User A can sign into our own main asp.net mvc app (WIF cookie), then SSRS (FormsAuth cookie) and all is well. Here is where things go bad. User A signs out of our main application (WIF cookie deleted) then back in into
our main application as User B then back into SSRS. SSRS report that displays User!UserID show UserA instead of current User B. Its like there is either a session or cookie caching issue going on but not for sure.
1. What is the proper way to sign out of SSRS and prevent session caching?
2. Do I need to worry about making my SSRS logon page non-cacheable? If so, what is the recommended way of doing this?
thanks
scott

Hi scott_m,
According to your description, you used custom FormsAuthentication in Reporting Services, after user A sign out the application an sign in as user B, SSRS built-in user is shows user A instead of user B.
Based on my search, once we configured SSRS to use Custom (Forms) authentication by deploying a custom security extension, we can logon to MS Report Manager (MSRM) using credentials of our custom security framework via a logon web page. But there is no way
to logout or to expire the authentication cookie, so we need to close the browser manually. As a workaround, we can add a logout button to the Report Manager which is using Forms Authentication, then use code to clear the cookie and redirect to home page.
In addition, if you extend Reporting Services to use Forms Authentication, it’s better to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for all communications with the report server to prevent malicious users from gaining access to another user's cookie. SSL enables clients
and a report server to authenticate each other and to ensure that no other computers can read the contents of communications between the two computers. All data sent from a client through an SSL connection is encrypted so that malicious users cannot intercept
passwords or data sent to a report server.
Here is a relevant thread you can reference:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/5e33949d-7757-45d1-9c43-6dc3911c3ced/how-do-you-logout-of-report-manager

SCCM 2012 and 2012 sp1 client cache not cleaning itself

I work on a University campus that deploys 100's of software titles to lab computers. Since last summer, we have been using Config Man 2012 and upgraded to 2012 SP1 in early Jan. Recently we started noticing 160GB hard drives filling up in locations
that get most of our software. When looking into it, the ccmcache folder has 50GB+ of data in it even though the cache size is set to 30GB. I looked at the folders in the cache and many of them are from last summer when the apps were first
downloaded and installed. NONE of these apps are set to persist. My understanding is that they should have been cleaned up automatically after 24 hours as space was needed. Either way, shouldn't the cache folder be at or smaller than the
cache size setting?
I have talked to others that have seen similar problems with 2012 of the cache folder growing beyond the max, but they don't have the software load that we do, so they are not filling their drives. If I manually tell Confi Man client to delete the
cache files, I free up 50GB or more, but manual intervention isn't a great option.
Any ideas on where to troubleshoot this issue or what settings might be messed up that allows for this?
Thanks

How much of this is software updates? Like in 2007 software updates are not counted against the cache size:
"You can configure the location and amount of disk space that Windows Configuration Manager clients use to store temporary files for when they install applications and programs. Software updates also use the client cache, but software updates
are not restricted by the configured cache size and will always attempt to download to the cache"

App-V Re-Cache of Applications?

Hi There
We have a fairly serious issue with existing App-V applications delivered to our clients via SCCM 07 when we migrate to 2012.
Scenario:
App-V apps delivered and cached on clients in the SCCM 2007 cache.
App-V Apps launched from this cache location.
We Migrate to SCCM 2012 backend, and SCCM 2012 client is upgraded and the cache location changes.
App-V apps attempt to launch but they're not in the cache as the cache location has changed!
Is this a known issue? What is the prescriptive guidance from Microsoft to
deal with this?
At the moment we are having to re-cache App-V apps via scripting and redistribution of source, but this is hugely problematic as some applications are large and we have over 100.
David Murphy

Hi,
Quote:
Migrated an App-V application and a package from CM07 to CM12
Used a powershell script to update the App-V application so it pointed to a new source location
Used the set-cmpackage cmdlet to change the source on the migrated package
Added new files to the new source locations as well as the copied original source
Deployed to all CM12 DP’s
Advertised and installed on a client
Tested apps on client
Checked CCM cache on client to ensure the new files existed therefore the new content source location was used

Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

Issue: experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client.
Event Log: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
path 'C:' contains an invalid character
Symptoms (when in this current state):
Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content. (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

Caching issue in jsp or servlet

I am not sure where I should post the issue that I have. I have a j2ee web app (struts) running on Apache Web Server + Glassfish + MySQL. My server has multi core.
The problem is that whenever I insert a new data or delete it from a table, I don't see the change right away. Sometimes, I see the change. Sometimes I don't. It's very inconsistent.
If the old data is cached in JSP, I shouldn't see the change in log file, but I do see it even in the log file.
For example, I have a page managing user's folders. when I delete a certain folder name from jsp page, this folder is deleted from a db table. but when I refresh the page, I still see the folder name that is not supposed to show up. or when I go to a different page and come back to this page, I don't see it. The behavior is very inconsistent.
If it's a browser caching issue, I don't think that I should see it in the log file, but I still see the folder name(which is supposed to be deleted) in the log file.
I am including these lines in all included jsp pages.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", -1);
does anybody have any opinion about this?
It's hard to debug it and describe the behavior.
But it would be very helpful if someone who had a same experience about this explains about this and tells me how to fix it.
Thanks.

Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding a severe performance issue running in our Production E-Business Suite Instance.
its an R12.1.3 setup installed with 11.2.0.1 Database. All the servers are Solaris Sparc 64 (Solaris 10)
Let me brief you about the instance first:
2 Node Application
- Main Application Server hosting web/forms/concurrent/admin servers
- iSupplier server hosting web services (placed in DMZ, used by external suppliers via Internet)
1 Node Database Server
Database Server Specs
Memory: 144G phys mem 20G total swap
- CPUs (8Px4cores, 2Px2cores)
- I/O - fiber channel hard disk (hitachi SAN Storage) - 7 DATA_TOPs (7 drives with RAID 5) - current DB size 1.6 TB
- at peak load, around 1000 concurrent forms session and 2000 web sessions.
We have been facing some serious performance issues and we raised an SR with Oracle Support.
The Support analyzed a bunch of AWR Reports we provided them and they asked us to increase the DB_CACHE from its current usage of 27G to 40G
So, we changed SGA_TARGET from 35G to 50G and PGA was increased from 35G to 40G as v$pgastat was also suggesting some lack of memory.
We made these changes last night.
Today morning we observed the following:
1. after start of office hours, we checked in the home page of EM DB Console that ADDM was showing reduced impact due to lack of SGA memory which seemed to be a good sign. Earlier it was around 25% which was now at 12%.
However, negative aspects were:
1. lot of swapping was reported by the System Administrators on the DB Server
2. High CPU Usage
3. EM DB Console showed a lot of "Concurrency Wait Class" events ...throughout the day lot of blocking sessions were reported which were making other sessions to wait.
in the AWR Report, following foreground reports were listed:
Top 5 Timed Foreground Events
Event

Time(s)
Avg wait (ms)

This is showing "library cache lock" events as the main culprit apart from the usual suspect, the CPU.
I am attaching the AWR Report. Please let me know if i should revert back the memory changes or is there anything else i could do.
Please help us resolving it because the performance is going worst.

Muneer.

TOC caching issue on IE

Hello all
RH10 to webhelp
I just received a call from an ongoing client. He's reporting that they are experiencing TOC caching issues in IE only. A topic and a book in the TOC that we removed in the latest updates are still appearing in the TOC, but obviously are dead links to topics that no longer exist. He said they cleared the folder and replaced it entirely with the new output files. They clear the cache but they keep showing up. He says they don't have this issue in Chrome.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Laurie

He would ideally be looking for a way to not cache or to automatically clear the cache so his clients don't have to manually do it each time (they likely wouldn't know that they even would need to, and would just be confused by orphan links in the TOC).
I found info re using meta tags to disable the cache (Disable Browser Caching with Meta HTML Tags [Cristian Sulea]). I inserted the tags into the master page header according to the instructions, but curiously they are not included in the output topics. I manually inserted it into the index.htm, and have sent the output to the client to test. I can't test it because I'm not experiencing the issue.

BitmapImage cache issue

On WIndows 8 RP, I create a BitmapImage with the Uri of a file on disk. The user has the ability to change the image file (using a picker which will replace the file on disk that is currently being used). The issue is that even when the BitmapImage is recreated,
because the Uri is pointing to the same file, the new updated image is never loaded. The only way to get the new image to load is to close and reopen the app. Clearly there is a cache issue.
I have two questions:
1. Is the issue with the cache of the BitmapImage that I construct using the Uri? Or is the issue with the cache of the Image UIElement that is displayed using the BitmapImage I mentioned previously?
2. It looks like I have far fewer options when dealing with BitmapImages on WinRT. I cannot do bi.BeginInit() or bi.CacheOption. All I can do is bi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreImageCache; ... but this does not help.
Here is how I'm constructing my BitmapImage:
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();bi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreImageCache;bi.UriSource = new Uri(currentFile.Path, UriKind.Absolute);
Here is how I'm setting the grid cell BitmapImage (which is binded to a UIElement Image):
gridViewCellObject.tileImage = bi;
Here is the code for the gridViewCellObject tileImage get/set
public BitmapImage muteImage
get { return _muteImage; }
set
_muteImage = value;
// Call NotifyPropertyChanged when the source property
// is updated.
NotifyPropertyChanged("muteImage");
Here is the XAML which binds the Image to tileImage:
<Image Source="{Binding tileImage, Mode=OneWay}" Width="140" Height="140" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,0,0" Stretch="Fill"/>
Any advice on how get around this caching?
Bryan L. Keller

Here is the solution. As the comments in my code suggest, this is ridiculous and shouldn't even be necessary.
Here is the revised getPhotos method. I copy each bitmap from its original source to the temp folder. I give it a random name that will never be repeated while the application is open. This is done by getting some information about the current system time.
I calculated it out to be a 1 in 10^-8 chance of getting a duplicate file name using my method of naming.
public async Task<List<BitmapImage>> getPhotos()
photos.Clear();
IReadOnlyList<IStorageFile> files = (IReadOnlyList<IStorageFile>) await folderHierarchy.Last().GetFilesAsync(); //gets storagefiles of original png files
DateTime currentTime;
foreach (StorageFile currentFile in files)
if (currentFile.Name.EndsWith(".png")) //get only png files
//copy to and read from temp to prevent bitmap caching. (It's ridiculous that I even need to do this)
currentTime = DateTime.Now;
String tempFileName = currentTime.Hour + " " + currentTime.Minute + " " + currentTime.Second + " " + currentTime.Millisecond; //generate unique name
await currentFile.CopyAsync(Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.TemporaryFolder, tempFileName); //copy to temp with unique name
//because the name is new each time, the bitmap will never be cached. photos.Add(new BitmapImage(new Uri((await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.TemporaryFolder.GetFileAsync(tempFileName)).Path))); //add bitmap to array of photos. This is used by the rest of the app to populate the gridview
return photos; //return array of photos
Microsoft, I shouldn't need to waste time solving your API issues. This stuff should have been fixed in one of the Developer Preview builds, NOT the Release preview.
Get your act together so developers can do their job.

The details you're providing are very helpful, Maj_Dad. With airplane mode enabled,
there would be no message because that disables celluar data. I would recommend
tying that mode with WiFi to see if it still happens. It sounds like this issue
has something to do with one of the applications on the device.

App-V Client 5 Service can not start Error 575

Good Morning
I have a Problem with the App-V 5.0 Client. When i starting the Service come following Error: Microsoft App-V Client on local Computer can not start. For more Informationen read the Events. Error 575.
Event-ID 7024
The Service"Microsoft App-V Client"
terminated with service-specific error: {Error in Application}
The application failed to
start properly (0x%lx). Click the "OK" button to
exit the application ..
You have a solution?

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sgern/archive/2013/03/21/10404146.aspx reports a simialr issue (in German), but on an RDS server.
The issue described there is that App-V tries to resolve/access a folder GUID int the registry that isn't there.
In the above scenario, it was the Music Library.
Activating the Music Library (causeng the key to be written) and deactivating it right away solved the issue. Of course *your* GUID/feature might be another one.
(and no, Sebastian does not explain _why_ App-V tries to access your favorite music)
