Set CURRENT Marker to an App Volumes Application Package Using Horizon Cloud

If an application has several packages and you want to deliver the latest version of the application to a user or user group, then the CURRENT marker can be set on the package. The user or user group can be configured to always receive the package version which has the marker even if the marker is removed from one package and set on the other package.

Here are some of the considerations when setting a CURRENT marker to a package:

• Move and delete operations cannot be performed on a package which is set with a CURRENT marker.

  To perform either operation, the marker must be removed from the package.

• Only one package in an application can be set as CURRENT.

Note: For an App Volumes application to be delivered as on demand to entitled users, the following must be considered:

• The package must be marked as CURRENT.
• The captured application must have shortcuts.
• If the CURRENT marker is changed from one package to another and the shortcuts are missing or have different paths in the second package, then the application is not launched.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the package you want to mark as CURRENT has completed the packaging process and the status of the package is Ready.

Procedure

1. In the Horizon Universal Console, navigate to App Volumes > Applications.

2. Click the application which has the package for which you want to set the CURRENT marker.

   The list of packages for this application is displayed.

3. Select the package.

4. Click MARKERS > Set Current.

5. On the Set Current dialog box, click SET.

   Package name is displayed with the CURRENT marker.

What to do next

You can now entitle this package to users or user groups. For more information about creating an entitlement, see Create an App Volumes Entitlement.
