Xen App - User Data Cache

Hi All,
I am building a server (appCentre V6) and have a sage application installed and presented for internal users to access. The application launches but each time i need to add the link to the database manually. I would like this information to be cached moving forward. i have tried the following link

but this doesn't seem to work. Am i missing a simple step here?

Thanks

The article talks about streamed apps, while your description sounds like you are having hosted apps.

To have the link permanent you need to know where the application stores this information and thus from where it retrieves it. This could be in one of the following:

1. Config file stored in the local part of the user's profile
2. Config file stored in the roaming part of the user's profile
3. Config file stored in the application path or any part of the server's drive
4. Registry entry in the currently logged on user hive HKCU
5. Registry entry in the local machine hive HKLM

Obviously number 1 means that the link will be lost every time the user logs off and then log back in. The user could also be missing the link in number 2 and 4 if the profile could not load properly and a temp profile was used instead.

To solve number 1 you need to move the Config file to the roaming section of the profile and the app should have the capability of changing the setting to point to that location. To see what I mean please read the following article:

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay i can confirm that this is is located in point (4) HKCU. the key locaiton for the admin account is populating with the correct reg fields (from the RDP session) but this does not seem to be called up with the Citrix session (or remembered).

Could you help out with a few possible tests to check the reg is writing correct for the remote Citrix users?

Many thanks
