Export & Import applications

On the DDC, open up a PowerShell window and enter:

# copy applications from one delivery group to another
$srcDGName = (Get-BrokerDesktopGroup).Name | Sort | Out-GridView -Title "Source Delivery Group" -OutputMode Single
$srcDG = (Get-BrokerDesktopGroup) | ? Name -eq $srcDGName
$apps = Get-BrokerApplication -DesktopGroup $srcDG.Uid
$targetDGName = (Get-BrokerDesktopGroup).Name | Sort | Out-GridView -Title "Import $($apps.Count) applications to which Delivery Group?" -OutputMode Single
$targetDG = (Get-BrokerDesktopGroup) | ? Name -eq $targetDGName
foreach ($app in $apps) {
	Write-Host "Importing $($app.Name) ... to $($targetDG.Name)"
	Get-BrokerApplication $app.Uid | Add-BrokerApplication -DesktopGroup $targetDG.Uid
}

Select allOpen in new window

... or you open Citrix Studio, select the new delivery-group, select "add applications" and within the wizard you see a dropdown box where you select "existing" ...

But this works within the same Site only

Let me try this as this needs to be performed in within same site

hi dirk,

i have tried the steps you mentioned but after completing the wizard the applications are not visible on the studio console in the destination folder.
Any suggestion

Have you tried the PowerShell script above? It allows you to select the source and target Delivery Groups via a GUI, and yes, it works within the same site.

With studio you enhance the existing Application-settings to the new delivery-group. You don't create a new app with different settings.
If you need an independent copy of the app, you should try the script from  Sam Jacobs.

Sam where should we mention the Target delivery group.COuld you please confirm is it on below line with Double quotes? If possible cold you provide me the script with Source delivery group as "Test 1" & target delivery Group as "Test 2"

$targetDGName = (Get-BrokerDesktopGroup).Name | Sort | Out-GridView -Title "Import $($apps.Count) applications to which Delivery Group?" -OutputMode Single

Hi Sam,

Script isn't working , could you please confirm me the parameters which I need to modify on the script you provided.
