REATING APPLICATION STREAMING MODELS
The Streaming section of the Advanced tab allows you to profile and build streaming models for
a virtual application.
The Profile feature generates transcripts, or profiles, which are then used to create a streaming
model for the virtual application. Clicking the Profile button launches the application and creates
a single transcript file based on observed user behavior during that run. It is recommended that
multiple transcripts are created before creating a streaming model. Using multiple transcripts
allows the streaming system to take into consideration different use cases for the application. It is
also recommended that at least one transcript be created for each operating system.
Note: Only uncompressed virtual applications can be profiled and streamed. Compression is
automatically disabled during the model build process.
To profile virtual applications:
•
Build the virtual application.
•
Click the Profile button on the Advanced tab.
•
Select the output location for transcripts and click OK.
•
After the virtual application launches, use the application for approximately one
minute, as if you were a typical end-user.
•
Close the application. Once the application terminates, the transcript will be created in
the selected output location.
•
Create additional transcripts as needed.
Once the necessary profiles have been created, the streaming model is ready to be built. The model
build process uses the transcripts and Connection Speed parameter to compute a model of
execution. After the model build process is complete, the streaming files are written to the
selected output folder. The Connection Speed setting is used to optimize delivery of application
content to the end-user.
To create a streaming model:
•
Select the desired Connection Speed. The 1.5Mbps connection speed setting is
recommended for most scenarios.
•
Click the Build Model button.
•
Select the folder where the transcripts are located and click OK.
•
Select the folder where the streaming model will be created and click OK.
The resulting model is made up of an .xm file and a collection of .xs files.
