Manually Adding Applications from an RDSH Farm

Some applications cannot be automatically detected by scanning the farm. You can manually add those applications to your applications catalog.

You perform these steps on the Administration Console's Applications page. If you have more than one such application, repeat these steps to add the applications you want.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have at least one applications farm in your inventory by navigating to Inventory > Farms.

Procedure

1. Click New.

2. In the start screen, click Manually from Farm.

3. In the Properties section, specify the following values.

   Option	Description
   Name	Unique name for the application.
   Display Name	Name for the application that you want displayed to end users when they see the application in their clients, such as in Horizon Client or Workspace ONE.
   Pod	This option only displays if your data center is configured with multiple pods. Select a pod to filter the set of farms displayed in the Farm list.
   Farm	Select the farm that has the RDSH VM from which you want to add the application.
   Application Path	Specify the path to the application in the RDSH VM's operating system.
   Icon File	Upload a PNG file (32 x 32 pixels) to use as the application's icon.

4. In the Advanced Properties section, specify these optional settings.

   Option	Description
   Application available on Farm	Select Yes to have the system validate the application path. If the application is not located in the farm's VM at that path, select No so that the system does not attempt to look for the application. For example, if an application is stored in the local directory in the VM, you would select No so that the system does not try to find the application there.
   Version	Optional: Version number of the application
   Publisher	Optional: Publisher of the application
   Start Folder	Specify the location in the RDSH VM's Windows operating system that you want the remote application to use as its start folder. Note: If you specify a LNK file in the Application Path that specifies its own start directory, the system does not use the location specified here.
   Parameters	Specify any command line parameters you want used when the remote application is launched.

5. Click Submit.

Results

The system adds an entry for the application to the Applications page.

What to do next

Repeat the steps for any applications you want from your other farms.
