The SpoonPlay tool can be used to launch the streaming models created using ZENworks
Application Virtualization (refer to section 9.10 Creating Application Streaming Models for
additional information). SpoonPlay can be used to launch streaming models which exist on your
local machine, a file server, or a web server which has been configured to stream applications. In
addition to launching streaming models, SpoonPlay can also be used to cache applications on your
local machine.
Launching a streaming model
Launching a streaming model requires the use of the /model and /xvm flags. The /model flag
specifies the location to the model files and the /xvm flag specifies the location of the XVM file
that will be used to launch the application. The example below demonstrates the command line
usage for launching a streaming model from a file server:
Spoonplay.exe /model=\\server1\apps\myapp\1-2-3-4__0\xstream\0\model.xm
/xvm=\\server1\tools\xvm.exe
Launching an application from a web server
SpoonPlay can also launch a streaming model from a web server which has been configured to
stream applications. SpoonPlay requires the /config flag, which specifies the location of the
application configuration file that exists on the web server (refer to section 9.14 Generating Site
License Certificates and Application Configurations for more information regarding application
configurations.) The example below demonstrates the command line usage for launching a
streaming model from a web server:
Spoonplay.exe /config=http://mysite.com/configs/app.xml
Caching an application
After launching a streaming model, SpoonPlay has a feature which allows the application to be
cached as an SVM file on your local machine. This will eliminate the need to re-stream the model
for this application during future launches. The example below demonstrates the command line
usage for caching an application after launching a streaming model:
Spoonplay.exe /model=\\server1\apps\myapp\1-2-3-4__0\xstream\0\model.xm
/xvm=\\server1\tools\xvm.exe /cache=c:\apps\myapp
