In zero-downtime 24/7 environments with shift employees customers rarely want users to be notified of scheduled or mandatory XenApp server reboots. As a result most of these environments have reboots disabled or this process is done manually. Unfortunately this isn’t a good process since the XenApp servers are susceptible to memory leaks which can lead to failure and poor performance. By utilizing the included Chained reboot scripts environments can take advantage of N+1 overallocation by processing a single server reboot while maintaining the user load on remaining systems. This has been done in such a way that users are not kicked off the system for scheduled reboots. Instead the server is removed from load balancing until all sessions have been logged off. Once all sessions have been logged off the server will go down for a reboot

Mittwoch, Mai 4th, 2022Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL) v2.8.1 – Citrix XenApp Threshold File
Donnerstag, März 17th, 2022The CitrixXenApp.xml file adds a threshold file called “Citrix XenApp” to analyze performance counters unique to Citrix XenApp in addition to the counters already analyzed by the “System Overview” threshold file which is included with PAL. The Citrix XenApp threshold file is a fast way to check for general system performance issues as well as performance issues specific to XenApp
Copy the attached CitrixXenApp.xml to the PAL program files directory for example C:\Program Files\PAL\PAL v2.8.1 and specify the “Citrix XenApp” in the “Threshold File Title” drop down

Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR – session roaming
Donnerstag, Dezember 2nd, 2021Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR – session roaming between client devices with the same user. If a user launches a session and then moves to another device the same session is used and applications are available on both devices but if session roaming is enabled the user would probably be unable to access the printers near the e.g. meeting room because the applications he launched earlier in his office resulted in the assignment of printers and other resources near that location
