Rich desktop GUI functionality on a thin client

is it possible to implement a graphical higherarcial tree like GUI representing orgainsation -> teams -> users on a thin client, where by its possible to drill down from an orgainsation down to the user , also to be able to drag and drop users between different teams, with a back end servelt then kicking off the back end processes to update the users association to a different team? the users need to have roles and privalges assoctaied to them with a log in facility?
there needs to be right click functioanity to add users, delete users , etc...
also once drilled to an individaul user i need to be able to display all details of the user edit / enter the details of the user allocate privialges for the user , allocate types of work to the user ---all this though i understand as its just simple requests to retrive data from data base or display data from database ---the issue here though is that i need to be able to display this in sepearte panes / frames (ie. smaller windows ) next to the graphical tree structure of the users and have tabs at top to be able to go to the dufferent types of forms (ie. the form to edit the user deitals , form to prsent the types of work to allocate to user, form to set prvilages for user etc...) ie. these all seem like just forms but they need to reside inside tab liknks within there own window / frame.
my understanding is that i can use web portal here to represent these different forms in there own window but how would they then be linked to the graphical representation of the user. ie as i change the user i need to be able to retrieve all his data etc.. i suppose it can kick off a servlet to get that data - what is the best way to do this functuality.
is this type of functioanlty possible on a thin client - web browser?
i have read things on AJAX to do asyncrounous calls to back end processes - but how do i make this transactionallly safe then ie. what if i drag and drop a user and use java script to trigger a back end process to change the user to a different team but the back end process fails but i've already made the change on client side - or maybe i dont quite undersatnd ajax , maybe ajax keeps the rest of the unchanged data static and waits on the transactional change of user to occur before alloing the drag and drop of user to be dedrawn ??
please i need some advice on types of technology that can be used to implemnet this functionality. i've been told about struts not being good enough and JSF being the new better tech - i need to implement it in weblogic server , using weblogic web portal.
Thanks - in advance.

Hi,
It may causes by Web Proxy with HTTP Authentication. Check if you enable it or not, if yes, please try to disable HTTP Authentication on the Web Proxy and test again.
Please also refer to the requirements for
Lync VDI plug-in:
The following are requirements for the virtual machines running on the data center computer:
Virtual machines must be configured with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2 with the latest service packs.
The following are requirements for the user and the user’s local computer:
The user must be homed on Lync Server 2013.
The local computer must be running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with SP1, Windows 7 with SP1, or Windows 8.

Rich client and thin client

Hello experts,
Rich contents are data manager, console, import manager and syndicator GUI clients
thin contents are portal way of looking mdm using iviews.
is this true??
Regards
Eva M

Hi Eva,
Good Day !
You are right .
A thing client (generally a software application/portal) depends primarily on a central server ( MDM server in this case) .It will drive communicating inputs from user to server and delivering back outputs from server to the user.Thin clients are independent of the machine you are using .
Eg:Portal
A thick client passes on data from an MDM user to Server . Such clients are generally used for performing data storage and processing activities directly at server level.Thiick clients need dedicated installations of GUIs and are machine dependant.
Eg:data manager, console, import manager and syndicator GUI clients
Hope this clarifies your query.

How to determine using MDM rich client OR thin client?

We want to save but also want to make sure nothing missing
SO could you tell me how to decide rich client or thin client?
Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
MDM Rich Clients: A rich client is a networked computer that has some resources installed locally (MDM Components) but also depends on other resources distributed over the network (MDM SERVER). It Provides rich functionality.
e.g MDM Components (MDM Console, MDM Import Manager, MDM Data Manager and MDM Syndicator)
MDM Thin Clients: If a user only needs to perform select tasks and does not need all the functionality of a standard computer or program, a thin client may be the right tool for the job. e.g. SAP Enterprise Portal (Iviews for Search and Read access)
You can verify that MDM Components are Rich clients and SAP Enterprise Portal is a Thin client on page 4/41 Components in a MDM landscape as given in below link:

Diff between Thin client and Rich client

Hi Everyone,
Can someone give me a clear picture of the what is the diff between Thin client and Rich client.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
thick client (rich client) has/stores all the data inside itself
so it can do application processing without the server with data
thin client uses resources from host computer (from server)
and wihtout that you are not able to work with that kind of client
does that answer your question ?

T5325 Thin Clients losing remote desktop connection

My company just bought about 50 of these thin clients and they are setup to run an automatic remote desktop connection. I have the connection setup to auto start when the thin client is powered on and it just brings the user to a windows login screen. After they have logged in and leave their thin client to go on break sometimes it just brings them to a blank screen with an HP logo and the thin client has to be restarted to get back into the remote desktop, or I have to go into admin and restart the RDP connection. Any idea why this is happening? Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?
Any help would be great!

We are having this same issue and it is maddening. I have contacted HP on several occasions and I don't know if it is the language barrier or simple ignorance, but so far the issue is ongoing. I have looked high and low on the net and no one seems to be able to tell me why this is happening despite a number of plausible theories. We have a couple hundred terminals throughout the company which are spread across three servers none of which are close to congested yet.. However, the 10 or so t5325's we have are used specifically for digital signage. They run automated sessions that launch animated JAVA windows. They run great for the most part, but seemingly at random they will freeze in their tracks. The sessions drop from our terminal server and cannot be restarted remotely. After the units are power cycled they come back up directly and begin their sessions again. You can shadow these units (VNC) and the moment the display come on the unit closes the RDP session and reopens the same and start running again, odd behavior. I have tried changing session logout timers, disabling / enabling TCP settings, creating client-side refresh scripts, restarting the sessions at regular intervals via admin script, flashing BIOS and ThinPro OS to the current level, voodoo rituals, and pagan sacrifice. Yet, they still behave in exactly the same manner with no actions on my part having any apparent affect.. Currently, I am of the mind to purchase small all-in-one pc's to do the job. If anyone knows of any way to fix this PLEASE respond to this post.

BEA should forget workshop and build a Rich Thin Client IDE!!

Hello,
After my work place team just got back from a Macromedia Flex training session, we are all ready to abandon Weblogic and go with Cold Fusion.... Their flex tool builds front end interfaces that put beehive apps to shame... I would sure hope that BEA would quickly develop an alternative Rich thin client environment(Forget Beehive!).
Check out this URL:
https://reservations.ihotelier.com/onescreen.cfm?hotelid=2867

I just saw this. Might be useful if you decide to go with coldfusion.

Thin Client IP phones for VDI solution

Is it possible to have a Cisco IP phone to act as a thin Client for VDI solution?
Can anybody suiggest me

Hello Sivakalam2
You ask an excellent question, and one that will likely trigger a heated discussion. I've had interest in the same topic for several years, and surprisingly found very little online. Everyone makes a thick client. WebRTC is a development project which is making inroads toward thin client softphone functionality. It's an excellent concept, but I haven't seen a production-ready client, yet. (Not saying there aren't any; I just have not seen them.)
Then I came upon this info in the Cisco Unified Communications System 9.0 SRND:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/9x/collabor.html
Cisco Virtualization Experience Client Architecture
Cisco Virtualization Experience Client (VXC) endpoints enable the end users to have secure real-time access to content and business applications as well as a rich collaborative user experience. These endpoints provide access to collaboration services that are part of the larger Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) solution. For information on a complete end-to-end VXI solution design, refer to the documentation available at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/ns340/ns414/ns742/ns1100/landing_vxi.html
Deploying Cisco Virtualization Experience Clients
Cisco Virtualization Experience Clients (VXC) are endpoints in the Cisco Unified Communications portfolio; however, they are more than just simple endpoints because they interact with a user's working environment by providing voice, video, and virtual desktop capability and functionality. A user's work environment can assume various profiles (for example, task worker, knowledge worker, or mobile worker), and Cisco has various Virtualization Experience Clients to meet those different needs.
The Cisco VXC 2111 and VXC 2112 provide an integrated form factor that is paired with a Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, or 9971 for a fully integrated voice, video, and virtual desktop environment. The Cisco VXC 2211 and VXC 2212 provide a standalone form factor that can be used as simply a virtual desktop (for a task worker), or they can be paired with an IP phone for a fully integrated user environment. The Cisco VXC 4000 provides a software-only solution by using a re-purposed PC to provide the user with voice and virtual desktop functionality, while the Cisco VXC 6215 provides a Linux-based thin client for fully integrated voice, video, and virtual desktop in a single device.
I do not have direct experience with these clients yet, having upgraded to CUCM9 recently. I'm definitely going to research it now. There's much more info in the SRND link above to read.
Thanks

Fat Client and Thin Client

Hello, everyone
I am a newbie with websphere 5. I am wondering if anyone know fat clients(Swing GUI) work with websphere. I know thin clients(web-based interface) work with websphere. My scenario is like this and this is all experimental purposes:
I want to program a Swing GUI interface as the client that accesses the enterprise javabeans that is installed on websphere. So the Swing GUI is the client and Websphere is the server, which makes it a 2-tier Application. My question is basically, does websphere only work with web-based application or does it work with both desktop application clients and web-based application clients also?
Any Ideas?

Thanks, that's the kinda of straight answer I am looking for. I have been researching for this answer to this question for a long time and even posted several similar questions on Java forum, but no one seemed to have a straight answer. What I was thinking of programming is:
client/server program using websphere.
Client:
GUI interface using Swing that is just like a regular desktop application and not a web browser (I notice the most common application using websphere are web based applications like portals).
Server:
Using Websphere to accept connection when requested by the client and act as a bean container, which holds EJBs. The EJBs will connect to the database (mssql server) to pull data from.
Does this sound OK and can this be done using Websphere? I am using Websphere 5.
Thank you, I am just a newbie in j2ee, just trying to get started in this area of programming.

RemoteApp on Thin Client

Hi all,
Newbie question I'm afraid....
I have an application that I wish to host on a Server running 2012r2 with RDS and run on either a thin client or a touchscreen device running a thin client.
I only wish to run this one application and so my question is this:
Can I create a remoteapp and have the thin client run that without any desktop or do I have to use a virtual desktop
and autorun the application?
Any recommendations appreciated,
Thanks
Rich

Hi Rich,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, nowadays RemoteApp is the best way to provide application access to user. But to access RemoteApp we need to run RD Web sites such as
https://rds.com/rdweb. So if you want to access RemoteApp from any of the device you need to access RDWeb sites. So for thin client you can access RemoteApp directly on thin client without installing Virtual machine. Just make sure that you need to
make correct configuration under thin client by providing terminal server name and RD web URL and so on. For your guidance you can refer
this video.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Creating a thin client network in VMWare Workstation

I have recently been informed that many our customers have a thin client network in place using Microsoft RDP, Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services.
What I would like to do is create a virtual thin client network using Server 2008 | Server 2008 R2 | Server 2012. What I am not certain of is how to emulate the "desktop" environments for the clients and how to configure VMWare to work with this type of network.
Is this possible?
I admit that I have never configured a TS before, so hopefully someone here has done this before and can provide some pointers.
I have been searching Google for information but so far have come up short. Perhaps my search criteria is wrong.
I have VMWare Workstation 10 and access to MSDN for a number of ISOs.
Thank you.

How i upload a web page named index.html generated by NI Web UI Builder in thin client application on world wide Web

Hello All,
I have an example which use simulated signal with its web service generated by LabVIEW. Then an application of this web service was created using NI web UI builder. And application was build and deployed on NI Cloud Portal, a zip file was downloaded of that project after build and deploying application.
The downloaded file contain a thin client application like :index.html page, readme file etc.
Now problems is this index.html runs easily on http://localhost:8080/appname/index.html or on my computer name like
http://iaa42:8080/appname/index.html web page runs and shows updated values in indicators and graphs but when i use ip address of my system like http://192.168.1.6:8080/appname/index.html , index.html runs but the values in indicator and graphs remains 0 (zero) constantly. how can i get all indicators and graphs updating continously on by using my ip address like same when i use localhost or computer name in url bar. 1st problem is this.
Now 2nd question.
I get a page index.html in a zip file built by NI web UI builder now i want this page to be viewed by every one world wide
where should i upload that code. Should NI Cloud Portal be my hosting server for that web page ? or i have to purchase a domain other than NI cloud portal?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Waqas

Hi Waqas,
For your first question, my first thoughts turn to your router (which I assume you are using with a 192.168.x.x address). Are you sure you are configuring your ports and firewalls to allow NI services to function? Here is a really good resource on how to check if your ports and firewalls are configured properly:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12402/en/
For your second question, when you deploy a web service you are hosting it on your local machine. If you wanted to host it elsewhere (i.e. another server or another domain) you would have to be sure that the server hosting your application has the LabVIEW run-time engine installed.

Can I run ADF BC tester as thin client using embedded Tomcat or Websphere?

Hi folks,
I fired up JDev and ADF BC after a long hiatus and was pleased to find my old friend, the appmodule tester. I will probably be demo'ing the tester tomorrow at my new job.
I would like to show the AppModule tester as a thin client application that dynamically browses appmodules, viewobjects, etc in the same way that the 'fat client' tester works.
I poked around some but haven't found anything. Can someone chime in?
Thanks,
Andrew Wolfe

Nothing automatic - but it is quite simple to just create a JSF page and drag the ADF BC view objects from the data control onto the page - drop as Form - or as master detail and get the functionality working.
Then you just press run on the page and the integrated WebLogic Server starts your page in a browser.
See this for example:

Printer for Terminal Services / Thin Clients

Hi, Just checking on what multifunction printer you would suggest for use with a Terminal Services environment? We only require the printer to go through TS. The other features will be used locally (photo copy/fax).
I am looking at the CM2320, a good choice?
Terminal Services: Windows 2003
Thin Client: T5730 using RDP 6.0
Many thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
A mandatory user profile is a special type of pre-configured roaming user profile that administrators can use to specify settings for users. With mandatory user profiles, a user can modify his or her desktop, but the changes are not saved when the user
logs off. The next time the user logs on, the mandatory user profile created by the administrator is downloaded. There are two types of mandatory profiles: normal mandatory profiles and super-mandatory profiles.
User profiles become mandatory profiles when the administrator renames the NTuser.dat file (the registry hive) on the server to NTuser.man. The .man extension causes the user profile to be a read-only profile.
User profiles become super-mandatory when the folder name of the profile path ends in .man; for example, \\server\share\mandatoryprofile.man\.

Arch Linux as Thin Client, PXE, LTSP

Hey there all, been using Arch for about a year now, from Gentoo through Zenwalk, gotta say that Arch is bar none the best so far. I think it's the way that it doesn't try to hide the system internals through abstraction (where every distro has it's own abstraction methodology).
I'm thinking in the future that I'd like to do a network-wide deployment of "terminals" for a non-profit. I say "terminals" in because unlike a true thin client, the idea was to have PXE booting to NFS and using the local hardware more. I'm fond of the idea of centralizing system management to a single system installation, and using solid-state machines.
VNC, NX, RDP seem to be out of the question because I need clients to have native multimedia applications like the Flash plugin, and Skype. I could see audio and video redirection becoming a pain. But having the full installation on the client doesn't seem like the right thing to do because then I've got specific machines with specific problems that I'd have to diagnose. Virtualizing an entire OS session for each user would require a powerhouse server, and then we are stuck with a graphical redirection like VNC, NX, RDP. Linux Terminal Server Project really seems to be on track, they've got a great customization method, but again, they're using XDMCP and sending raw X data over the network.
I envision the clients as being mostly web browser-centric to interface with the necessary applications, and using software like Sun Global Desktop or NoMachine NX to connect to individual Windows applications on a Windows server when needed.
I'm looking at the Fit-PC2 as a possible thick-client solution. It's an Intel Atom based PC with an AMD Geode graphics solution, 512MB of soldered RAM, really low energy consumption.
The wiki doesn't seem to address having more than one client using an NFS-mounted root. If you have more than one client writing .pid and other /var files, this doesn't seem like a feasible idea.
So I suppose that the / has to be mounted in RAM, and only the static dirs like /usr /bin /boot swap are NFS imports?
At first the network would be homogenous, but if we add computers with differing graphics cards
So, in summary:
* Any clues on multiple clients using one NFS root?
* How to autoconfigure X.org and other differing hardware?
It sounds like a fun challenge, wondering if anyone else has tried anything like it.
Last edited by VitaminJ (2009-10-19 00:42:31)

I don't really know enough about this to offer any real advice, but as far as multiple machines using a single NFS root goes, you could look into mounting it on all your clients read-only, and using a union filesystem (eg aufs2, unionfs), such that you can use another partition (say on a ramdisk) to handle writes...
Just a thought

Using SUN Ray thin client for UCCE CAD Agents

Hi,
Does anyone tested the thin client SUN Ray for Cisco Agent Desktops? Is this supported by Cisco?
We know that Cisco supports Citrix for Cisco Agent Desktop but using thin client for IP Communicator is not supported at all.
Thanks.

I guess it all depends on what the SunRay client is connecting to? If it's a VDI, terminal server, or something else as long as that platform is supported by Cisco/CAD then it should be okay - after all the SunRay is just a way of connecting to a desktop environment that then runs the CAD software.
Hope you're SunRay deployment goes well!
