CTX102982 - Export and Import Published Application Information from the Data Store

This document was published at: http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX102982

Document ID: CTX102982, Created on: Nov 18, 2003, Updated: Nov 19, 2003

Products: Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000, Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003

Symptoms

A user wants to export published application information from the farm.

Reason/Cause

The user may want to create a new farm with the same published application.

Resolution

Citrix has supplied utilities in the Citrix APSDK that allows users to retrieve all information from a farm about published applications.

EXPORT

The EXPORT produces an APP, ICA, or HTML file. These files can be used to launch an application from a Web browser or create an application using the NEWAPP example program.

Syntax

Export app_name flag file_name options

Parameters

app_name

The distinguished name of the application to be exported.

flag

/ea to export an APP (application) file.

/ei to export to an ICA file.

/eh to export to an HTML file.

file_name

The file name (relative or fully qualified) where the exported file is to be saved.

options

Additional parameters; dependent on the type of export determined by the flag parameter.

Remarks

The EXPORT example uses the MFWinAppObject::ExportFile() method to generate the exported file. The APP file format is used by the NEWAPP example to publish applications. The following is an example of the command:

Export ApplicationsNotepad /ea notepad.app

This command creates an APP file called Notepad.app for a published application located in the Applications node of the Citrix Management Console.

An application must have an accompanying subfolder; for example:

Export ApplicationsSubfolderNotepad /ea notepad.app

Note: The distinguished name of the application is case-sensitive.

This file can be modified then added to the farm using NEWAPP.exe.

NEWAPP

The NEWAPP example is a language parser that creates applications described in an APP file.

Syntax

Newapp appfile

Parameter

appfile

The APP file read by NEWAPP.

It may be alien life forms for all we know: we haven't a clue. You cannot blame us for anything that may result from your visit. That was entirely your own personal choice, made by you of your own volition, and without our knowledge. We do not, after all, have any control over you and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be expected to accept or acknowledge, be it legally or morally, any accountability for decisions made by you on an independent basis, utilizing your own free will, and without our intervention. We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business. We are not accountable for anything at all, and we hereby categorically deny all responsibility for all that has ever, or will ever happen.

Don't come sniveling to us, we are only figments of your imagination. I also agree that if I am ever with a contributor to this website during mealtimes I agree to pay for any super-sizing of their meal, or at least a nice dessert or one of those foo-foo drinks with an umbrella or a monkey. By admitting to have seen the worthless spineless drivel on this website (also known as content)

I Agree Wholeheartedly and Without Reservation to the above. (Except maybe for that part about the monkey.)

No. Really, I do agree.
