ROCESS CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
ZENworks Application Virtualization provides several options that control the startup of the
primary and child processes. Options can be accessed by clicking the Settings button, then
clicking the Process Configuration tab.
4.4.1 Command line arguments
By default, command line arguments specified by the user upon virtual application execution are
passed to the virtual application startup executable. However, it is possible to override this
behavior and specify a fixed set of command line arguments to be passed to the startup
executable. For example, one can use this option to specify Java virtual machine behavior.
To specify an explicit command-line:
•
Click on the Settings button
•
Click on the Process Configuration tab
•
Enter the command-line arguments in the Command line textbox.
Note that these arguments override any arguments that might be specified by the end-user.
4.4.2 Working directory
The working directory setting determines the active directory at the time the virtual application
process is launched.
The Use startup file directory option sets the working directory to the directory of the virtual
application startup file. In the case of a jukeboxed application, the working directory is set to the
directory of the startup file specified on the jukebox command line.
The Use current directory option sets the working directory to the directory from which the
virtual application is launched.
The Use specified path option allows an explicit working directory to be specified. The working
directory specification can include environment and well-known root folder variables.
By default, the working directory is set to the directory of the startup file.
4.4.3 Application type
Windows applications may execute in either the GUI- or console-mode subsystems. If you have
selected an executable startup file, ZENworks Application Virtualization will automatically
configure the virtual application to execute in the same subsystem as the startup file. However, if
you have selected a non-executable startup file, it may be necessary for you to manually override
the application type. Most applications execute in the GUI subsystem.
To override the application type, select the appropriate mode from the Application type
dropdown in the Process Configuration section of the Settings panel. The Inherit mode sets the
application type based on the type of the startup file, if possible.
