APTURING UPDATES TO AN APPLICATION VIA SNAPSHOT
PROCESS
Virtual application updates can be captured within ZENworks Application Virtualization via the
snapshot process.
To capture an update via snapshot process:
•
Install the original native version of the application you wish to update on a clean
machine.
•
Click
Capture Before
to snapshot the original version of the app.
•
Install the necessary updates to the native application.
•
Click
Capture and Diff
to create the “after” snapshot of the app. This will capture the
deltas between the original version and the updated version.
•
Make sure the Project Type is set to
Component
, then click
Build
to create the
SVM
file.
This process will only capture the changes between the original EXE and the installed updates.
The resultant
SVM
file can then be applied to the original virtual executable (for more information
on updating
SVM
files, refer to the topic “Specifying additional SVM layers for a virtual
application” in the “Advanced topics” section).
