ENERATING DIAGNOSTIC
Occasionally, errors during virtual application configuration result in an executable which fails to
run properly; that is, to exactly emulate the behavior of the original source application. Usually
this is a result of an error in the virtualization configuration, such as a missing file or registry
entry.
To assist in diagnosis of these problems, ZENworks Application Virtualization offers the option of
creating diagnostic-mode executables. Diagnostic-mode executables generate logging data during
execution that can assist in diagnosis of problems related to virtualization.
To generate a diagnostic-mode executable, check the Generate diagnostic-mode executable
option on the Output section of the Virtual Application ribbon bar. Then click Build to generate
the instrumented executable.
Execution of the instrumented executable will generate a xclog_<id>.txt file in the application
startup directory that contains detailed diagnostic data gathered during execution. Inspection of
this file, particularly of entries labeled WARNING or ERROR, often allows diagnosis of
virtualization errors. If you require assistance from Novell technical support to resolve your
problem, we strongly encourage you to submit this information along with your support request to
facilitate resolution of your issue.
Note: Because diagnostic-mode executables run significantly slower than standard executables and
generate very large log files, diagnostic-mode executables should not be distributed to your end-
users.
