NWBC PL6 running on Citrix Xenapp 6 performance

Hey,
we are running NWBC PL6 running on Citrix Xenapp 6, but encounter slow drop-downs, screen abnormality's (as column name changes) and hickups in the screen configurations, which make the application just not performant enough to run smoothly via the citrix-server. We configured the citrix server as performant as possible, but might have missed something.
Anyone having the same issue and able to help ?
thx,
Bart.

Hi Bart,
have you a solution. We have the same issues running same versions as you except nwbc 4.0 pl13

Need to know if Firefox 6 is compatible with Citrix XenApp Server 6 running on Windows Serve r2008 R2 virtualized on a VMWare environment. Thanks in advance!

We are setting up a new environment for a client based on Citrix XenApp Server 6 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 which is virtualized on a VMWare hypervisor. Client uses Firefox and we need to know if it is going to work or not. If not, what is the root cause (i.e. XenApp, Windows Server 2008 R2, virtualization).
Thanks again! :)

I only ask because, in the past we were able to install a related product, InDesign CS5 in Citrix. In fact, Adobe had published documentation for doing exactly that: here. I just haven't seen anything similar for Illustrator CS6 and wanted to check.

What is your experience running Dreamweaver in a virtual/citrix/xenapp environment?

Does anyone have any experiences running Dreamweaver on Citrix XenApp? If so, has the user experience has been positive? Is there anything you found during the installation process that we should be aware of?
Just looking for any feedback that would be helpful as we move forward in installing the trial version and testing it out.
thank you.

Thanks guys this has been really helpful.
I got another identical server approved so I was wondering if the following specs will do if LOB applications are installed on the SharePoint Infrastructure in the future.
Virtual Machine 1: Web Server + App Server
SharePoint Server:
RAM: 25GB Processor: 64bits. 4-cores Disk space: 160GB
Virtual Machine 2:
SQL
RAM: 20GB Processor: 64bits,4-cores Disk space: 160GB
Would this be overkilling it or should I just increase the RAM to 25GB on the SharePoint Server and leave the SQL as 16Gb?
Just to give an idea the portal consists of 1 corporate site and about 8 departmental sites which is not the concern as the 16GB for SP and 16 GB would be fine (I would assume). I am however concern if the old specs would be okay when the LOB applications,
workflows, BI are installed in the future.
Thanks again,
AR.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc-) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5.

We would like to deploy the Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc…) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5. Does anyone know if this is possible – are there any deployment guides. I haven’t been able to find any so I’m assuming it’s not officially supported.
Thank you
Stuart

We have a few of the products installed. You will find they work okay but nothing replaces working locally.
We are, however, using the Enterprise version that is not tied to cloud accounts.
We have had to play with the video setting of Citrix for better Quality. If you ratchet them up to high for someone that is doing high end editing your performance drops significantly. The screen refresh is blocky and no one doing this work would find it usable.
We have it there fore simple editing and managing our media. I am looking for a much better storage solution that is sharable across platforms and locations.

Cannot quit Visual FoxPro (Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1)

Hi everybody:
This is not the typical question about this error, because the problem here is not about how to quit (CLEAR EVENTS then QUIT). The really and weird problem is that our application do no execute the error trapping routines (Try/Catch and ON ERROR) and tries
to directly Quit.
I have never seen something like this before, error trapping routines not executed.
I try to explain the problem better:
- The user click on the Citrix icon of our App
- Citrix shows the executed processes (establishing connection, applying user config, loading profile, etc)
- The Application (VFP 9 SP2) is started and in any moment, while loading, occurs an error that is not handled by error handlers, and it executes a "kind" of a Quit command, that we detect because have a ON SHUTDOWN to catch it, then the App shut
down and the user must click the Citrix icon and start all over again, up to 7 times, when the App really load and work.
- I think that it is useful to make clear that no QUIT command is really causing this, just the behaviour of the QUIT when an error occurs, but just while loading. If the App get completely loeaded, then everything works as expected
Infraestructure:
- Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1
- There are up to 50 concurrent users max in every virtualized server
- More than 10 GB of free disk space / Up to 4 GB ram
- RAM Memory is never used to the max
- CPU (Intel Xeon) is never used to the max (up to 90% in some cases)
- Data (DBFs for temporal work) ar on local drive, not over network (to avoid network known problems with smb2-3)
- There are connection to a Oracle 11 database for permanently storing the data
About the errors:
- They are not always the same or in the same place. In example, in one execution could fail the query of SET("Printer",2), in other execution could fail a SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE (sometimes already loaded), in other could fail a "DO
WHILE .T." in a init event.... completely crazy, and in all cases the errors are not thrown, not a single error code, the App just try to quit, as if ALT+F4 where pressed.
- All this does not happen allways to everyone, but happens many times in the day to many many users as to be worried
- The same user can have this error many times a day, but not allways
- Some of the problems started when migrating to Windows Terminal Server 2008, but didn't notice nothing special in the beginning, but a year later (last 2014) problems tend to go worse
Tried solutions:
- For the "SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE" error, a "IF xxx $ SET('PROCEDURE')" check was added
- The "SET('Printer',2)" check was moved out of initialization code, so it executes when user want to print the first time. In this case was neccesary to talk with IT guys to map a default printer after the App runs, and not in background, as it
was.
- Other checks and modifications was made to minimize posibility of errors
- Adding a timeout of 5 secs in the start of the program, to force a wait
- Restart of virtual servers (not the phisical) every 3 weeks
What I suspect:
- Some Microsoft optimization (memory?, process execution?) in WTS-2008 may interfere?
- Some VMWare memory management may interfere with WTS-2008?
- Some Citrix management may interfere with both?
- Server degradation because of day to day use
Results until now:
- Apparently, adding the timeout to force 5 secs delay and the restart of the server have made a notable enhancement in App start and running
with far fewer
errors
Has
this happened to anyone?
Thanks! o_O

I never had this type of problems, but somewhat similar start up problems. I'd say it indicates resource problems. Low RAM can cause many unpredictable things. In my case loading much data at the begin of an application caused out of memory errors, which
were reported and logged normally, though.
I made a small tool using Windows API functions GetPerformanceInfo and GetProcessMemoryInfo, you'll find declaration and usage like usual at the News2News site. It's a bit lengthy and cluttered, but pretty much what you find there anyway, so I'll not post
my utility code.
I could quite clearly see how many users degraded available memory per session and at some time no further instance of the application was possible on the server. In my case RDP was used to start the app, Citrix will be quite the same, in the end the application
runs on some server and users see the remote running application.

Oracle client with Citrix Xenapp 64 bit

Hi,
I have below queries :
1) Can we install Oracle 9i client 32 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
2) Can we install Oracle 9i client 64 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
3) Can we install Oracle 11g client 32 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
4) Can we install Oracle 11g client 64 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?

Queries do not make much sense.
Oracle does not provide client db drivers for a hypervisor or vritual machine system software. It provides it for the operating system used.
Oracle provide client drivers, 32bit and/or 64bit, for a number of operating systems and operating system versions. Does Oracle provide drivers for Windows XP? Yes. For Windows Vista? Yes. For Windows 7? Yes.
See Instant Client Downloads.
Whether such a driver works on a Windows o/s that is running in a virtualised container, and can provide database connectivity, depends on the nature of that container's support for the underlying operating system, and the configuration of that container ito of network connectivity to the real world.
Oh yes - using Oracle 9i in any shape or form also does not make sense. It is a product discontinued years ago.

Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) Visual C++ Runtime error - Citrix XenApp 4.5

Error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
I work for a large government agency, and we are experiencing the above error, but we have the added complexity of Citrix (XenApp 4.5). Most of our servers run Server 2003 SP2 Enterprise.
When you log into the server's console, a PDF from a network location launches fine, however a Softgrid package which contains a link the PDF produces the error (unless you have elevated domain privileges - and then it works fine).
Using Citrix to launch the PDF via the Softgrid package or the network drive sometimes works, but randomly produces the error. Our security team will now allow us to disable Protected Mode (from our last test, disabling Protected Mode resolved the issue).
A Procmon log of a failure to launch shows AcroRd32.exe producing an Insufficient Resources error to an IPC share on all our DFS Namspace servers. After that Reader seems to terminate.

Hi,
Can you please let me know the following information:
1) Is the issue exist for previous versions of Reader as well (like Reader X, Reader 9)
2) Does your organization also use XenApp 5 or XenApp6? If yes, can you please try to reproduce the issue for the clients of those servers.
3) Please try out the following :
-- Launch Reader10.1, Goto Edit->Preferences -> General . Un-select the option 'Enable Protected Mode at startup' and close Reader.
-- Open the PDF file which was throwing Visual Runtime error and see if the error still persists.
-- After the observation please launch Reader again and goto Edit->Preferences -> General and now select 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' and close Reader.
(Reader should always be kept at Protected Mode as it is much more secured)
Thanks,
Shakti

BPC 7.5 NW on Citrix XenApp 6 w2008

Hi All,
We are currently in two BPC projects and we want to use Citrix servers based on w2008 R2 64bit for BPC (is the only supported). Our big problem right now is that BPC client is not working properly with Citrix XenApp 6 W2008 R2 64bit.
Office 2007 is being used for BPC. Could it be possible to have any feedback from someone using Citrix for BPC 7.5 NW? Maybe someone in SAP or are we the first ones?
KR
Edited by: Antonio Vacas on Oct 25, 2010 11:38 AM

Hi Antonio
May I have a question,
Did you success install BPC 7.5 NW on W2008 R2 ? Because I thought NW 7.01 which is required by BPC 7.5 is not able to run on W2008 R2.
Thanks,
Halomoan

Citrix XenApp 7.5

Hi All
I know that the Novell Client is not supported in Citrix XenApp 7.5, but has anyone tried to get it working
I have DSFW installed, which provides the local user accounts and that much works, but I would really like to integrate the Novell Client into the login
I suppose we could add cifs/samba to the remote servers and setup a second login script, but I would prefer not to have to manage 2 sets of access.
Thanks in Advance
Mark

I would say Just Enable CIFS on the File share Server and map the drives with a GP.
It is pretty straight forward and fairly quick. I went away from using a login scripts with domain logins as everything I attempted with them did not work like it used to (In the older DC/Domain days). From my research it appears that Microsoft was trying to move away from Login scripts and just use GP's for everything. By doing the targeted drive mapping in the GP everything seemed to work nicely.
We are currently running All Workstations Windows 7 x64 & Vista X32 with the Novell client & ZCM. No Microsoft client installed. All of our windows servers (2008R2) are joined to the DSFW Domain. We are currently running a 4 Server XenApp 6.5 farm for our EHR/Medical System and 1 Server XenDesktop App Edition 7.6 Farm for testing.
These servers map 3 shares off 2 NSS Volumes for main files using CIFS. They also map drives & UNC to other windows servers.
Everyone gets 2 of the shares,
a users volume for the home folder (Redirected folders & such)
a data volume for misc. group folders and other stuff.
Yes you have to have a GP, to map drives and other settings. for the other share you can set it to target specific group or users.
If you install CIFS you are not managing permissions twice as the Novell permissions will be inherited (*** One little issue with this as if you forget to explicitly set a no access rule at the top of the share everyone can read the share via CIFS, however not with the Novell client)
I have not found a reason why you would absolutely need the Novell client on a Citrix server yet.
Do you have an older server or some other reason you need the Novell client?

Appvve switch issue in citrix xenapp 6.5 environment

Hi
We have an issue interms of using appvve switch in citrix xenapp 6.5 environment. we are calling the below command in citrix xenapp 6.5 console -->
("C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /appvve:B25C8D4D-27F6-4DBF-8295-14D2A26D59EB_D785FA6C-6F51-44A8-A40F-CEFB42F4A659 "http://social.technet.microsoft.com")
, Application launching fine when we test in admin account..,But non admin (user) account we are getting
"The application failed to launch" error..So for that we have created test batch file using the above command and copied in users local machines. in our case we copied the batch file in D drive (users local machine) and
the xenapp 6.5 command would be "D:\test.bat". now it's working fine..but we don't want to use this method..if any other solution or ideas would be greatful for us...
Kindly help..
Thanks in advance, Maheswaran

From an App-V perspective: is the app published to the users (log in as a user and run
get-appvclientpackage -packageid B25C8D4D-27F6-4DBF-8295-14D2A26D59EB -versionid D785FA6C-6F51-44A8-A40F-CEFB42F4A659
Are there any errors in the App-V client event logs?

Citrix XenApp Unable to Open Published Applications. Via UAG Trunk

Good Morning,
I'm trying to publish XenApp through a UAG trunk. When I click in the XenApp icon I am presented with the Citrix login page and am able to log in. However, if I try to open any application I am prompted to either open or save the ICA file and on clicking
open I always get the following message, "Unable to launch your application. Contact your helpdesk with the following information: Cannot connect to XenApp server. There is no Citrix XenApp server configured on the specified address." If I log in
to the UAG server I can connect to the Citrix server and run all applications without error. If I save the ICA file the contents are as expected and the correct server is listed.
Forefront UAG is running a two node NLB array with SP4 and Citrix is published via an F5 load balancer.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks.

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
regards,
christian

Citrix Xenapp 6.0

We currently use Citrix Xenapp 6.0 provisioning services and are in the process of upgrading to SCCM 2012 R2. Obviously our issue is that we have approximately 80 VMs that boot from a single image which makes installing SCCM 2012 R2 problematic. The
only purpose SCCM serves on our Citrix image is to manage FEP/SCEP (and alerts).
I've tried googling but haven't found a fix. How do you get the SCCM 2012 R2 installed on a server which is provisioned daily from a single image?

I had the CM client in VDI machine that are non-persistent. That works fine. Just put it in the master image. However running FEP on a machine that is reset each day may not needed. Plus FEP updates won't be applied.

Well FEP would update each time the system boots up.

AIR app not running on Citrix

We have delivered an AIR app to a client, and they are trying to run it on a Citrix XenApp terminal server. Part of the app makes use of the AIR browser and sessions. When the Citrix user is of sufficient privilidge (windows user), the app runs fine. When they attempt run the AIR app as an anonymous citrix user, it fails. The user cannot login to a page (presented inside the AIR browser). Any ideas?
This discussion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/208488#208488) says that the AIR browser stores cookies and cache in the "Temporary Internet Files" directory, like IE does. Is this true? If the Citrix user did not have permission to write to that directory, could that cause problems? Does the AIR browser need to be able to write anything to the file system? Will the AIR browser try to store session cookies on the filesystem, or do they just stay in memory? I have to assume that this Citirx guest user has no file system priviledges, so we may need to loosen that to get the app to work. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Did you test in the Simulator for 2.1?
I tested it in the Simulator for 2.1 and it works fine.
HOWEVER - my app doesn't work in in 2.1 for various people either. (Two emailed reports, which means probably a lot more are getting hit by this and not emailing)
And I really don't use any undocumented APIs. I do set a transform on a view, however.
My guess is they fixed a bug to do with transforms and views, which broke my App in 2.1. Sadly, this fix doesn't seem to be on the Simulator.
So I can't verify unless I update my iPod Touch to 2.1 .. which I can't do because iTunes says my version is apparently up to date for 2.0.
Crazy. Gotta find a way to get 2.1 on my iPod touch. Any suggestions?

Installation for Citrix XenApp

Hi,
I'm trying to install install_flashplayer15x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe onto a Windows 7 machine in order to use Citrix XenApp. When running the executable the installer displays a grey box and nothing else:
I've tried updating the Windows Root Certificates, but this hasn't made any difference. Any idea what I can do to overcome this.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm still getting the same problem within Citrix XenApp when attempting to run some videos - for example the one on this page - BBC Sport - Sports Personality: What would you walk 500 miles for?.
When I go to the page, I get the following screen displayed even after using the offline installer:
Then when I use this link, I still get the grey box that I had before.
