Subject: [THIN] Application Compatibility
I have looked through Citrix's (FR3 version) and MS's application
compatibility docs and it seems to me that they focus on applications
that are a few years old and the list isn't really that inclusive. Does
this mean that newer versions of those apps no longer have issues? Or
does it mean that the testing hasn't been published? Has someone
gathered all this information somewhere? Google gave me a few
additional "How to" docs on compatibility scripting, but not much else
out there.
We are consolidating our TS boxes to a metaframe farm and I have 50 or
so apps (about half were packaged for the desktop) that I need to
validate. Would like to know as much about the app before we get into
testing our SMS packages on MF. We have some tricky apps like Oracle
clients (different versions), crystal reports and Fsecure.
Does anyone have a process/checklist on what EXACTLY to look for to make
sure new apps will function properly? I'm looking for additional
"gotchas", like reg settings in local machine, ini files installed into
/program files, etc.
Also, what is the best practice on which apps to install together? We
already have 3 or 4 versions of Mdac and a ton of ODBC drivers that are
required.
Thanks!
