Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 70
8.8 XAppl file format
Overview
A .xappl file is an XML representation of all the virtual application configuration settings.
All paths in the .xappl file are relative to where the .xappl file resides. For example, the source attribute of a File
element will begin with ".\Files\". The ".\" directory is the path where the .xappl file should reside in order for
ZENworks Application Virtualization to locate the physical source files during the build process.
The .xappl file must adhere to all XML syntax rules. If there are syntax errors in the .xappl file, ZENworks
Application Virtualization will not load the file.
In this document, attribute values are shown in parenthesis after their description and default values are shown in
bold.
