Novell ZENWORKS APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION 8.0.2 - 11-2010 User Manual page 40

The Name field specifies the internal name of the virtual service. For example, the Windows web
server would use the name w3svc.
The Friendly Name field specifies the full display name of the service displayed to end users. For
example, the Windows web server friendly name is World Wide Web Publishing Service.
The Command Line field specifies the full command line (including the service executable name
and any parameters) used to launch the service.
The Auto Start flag indicates whether a virtual service automatically starts during virtual
application startup, or whether the service must be launched manually or by the virtualized service
control manager.
The Keep Alive flag indicates whether the virtual service process is automatically terminated
when the primary application executable terminates, or whether the service (and, therefore, the
host virtual application executable) continues to run until the service terminates itself.
Service installation and settings are automatically captured during the snapshotting
process. Therefore, it is generally unnecessary to manually configure virtual service settings. The
primary exception is the case of virtualized applications intended to run as background worker
services (for example, virtualized web servers); in this case, it is often required to explicitly enable
the Keep Alive option.
4.4.7 Child processes
Some applications spawn new child processes during the course of their execution. Depending on
the virtual application context, it may be preferable for such child processes to be created either
within the virtual application, or outside of the virtual application in the host operating system.
Child processes include processes spawned to service COM local server requests.
Note: Child processes created outside of the virtual application will not have access to virtualized
filesystem or registry contents. However, these processes will be able to access or modify host
operating system contents, even if this would otherwise be forbidden by the virtual application
configuration.
By default, child processes are created within the virtual application. To force child processes to
be created outside of the virtual application, uncheck the Spawn child process within virtualized
environment option. COM local servers can optionally be created within the virtual application
context. To force COM local servers to be created outside of the virtual application, uncheck the
Spawn COM servers with virtualized environment option.
Exceptions to the child process virtualization behavior specified by the Spawn child process
within virtualized environment and Spawn COM servers within virtualized environment
flags can be enumerated in the Child Process Exception List. Process names listed in the child
process exception list behave opposite to the master child process virtualization setting. To edit the
child process exception list, click the Child Process Exception List button. Process names may or
may not include the process filename extension.
