Are you publishing the application as an App or Published content?

Subject: [THIN] WTF? 11.2 ICA Client issue

 

What up, List?

 

Wierd situation I encountered today.  Looking for enlightenment.

 

Planning to do a client deployment as a first phase of a Citrix farm
upgrade.  Current clients are predominantly 9.15 or 10.2.  Back end is
Windows 2003 SP1/Citrix MPS 3/ PS 4.  Rolling out 11.2 client to some test
users prompts call of concern at new app behavior:

 

Expected behavior (non-standard from my POV) java app on Citrix server
generates a report.  Opens report in IE on the clients local PC (not on
Citrix server).  Apparently there's a plug-in the app needs to install and
they have a practice of setting this up on each user's PC.  

 

Actual behavior (what it should do, IMO) java app on Citrix server generates
a report and opens it with IE on the same Citrix server.  This alarms the
app support team because of this problematic plug-in needing to be installed
for each user's profile.  

 

Am I missing something?  Why would a report from a Citrix app shell out to a
local PC browser?  Any idea why a client upgrade would fix/break this
behavior?

 

Any insight is much appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Christopher
