Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization
4.4.8
Read-only virtual environments
In some scenarios, it may be desirable to prevent the user from making any modifications to the
virtual environment, including the virtual filesystem and registry.
To block all modifications to the virtual environment, check the
Virtual environment is read-
only
option.
4.4.9
Automatic sandbox reset
The sandbox can optionally be configured to be reset automatically on application shutdown. An
application publisher may want to do this to assure that any changes made to an application's
settings are reverted when the application closes.
To enable the automatic sandbox reset feature, check the
Delete sandbox on application
shutdown
option.
4.4.10
Shutdown process tree on root process exit
The
Shutdown process tree on root process exit
option enables the shutdown of all child
processes when the root process exits.
Note: By default, the startup file is the root process. However, if a virtual service is specified in
the application configuration file and is set to auto-start when the application is launched, the
virtual service acts as the root process in the process tree.
4.4.11
Compress Payload
Both the application profiling and streaming processes require that packages be built
uncompressed.
To build applications without compression, leave the
Compress Payload
option unchecked.
4.4.12
Startup executable optimization
The
Enable startup executable optimization
option attempts to launch the startup executable
within the initial virtual machine process. This prevents the creation of a separate application
process but may be incompatible with some applications.
4.4.13
ZAV command-line arguments
ZENworks Application Virtualization supports command-line arguments of the form
/x[arg]
which modify virtual application behavior at run-time. In rare instances, these arguments may
collide with command-line arguments designed for use by the virtualized application.
To disable processing of these arguments, uncheck the
Enable ZAV command-line arguments
option.
4.4.14
Window class isolation
The
Enable window class isolation
option prevents the virtualized application from viewing
window classes that have been registered by external processes. For example, this option may be
used to prevent interaction between virtualized and non-virtualized versions of the same
application when the application checks for existing class registrations.
