Task description with App-VHow to perform the task with App-V

You can configure a connection group to accept any version of a package, which enables you to upgrade the package without having to disable the connection group.

-

How the feature works:

-
    -

  • If the connection group has access to multiple versions of a package, the latest version is used.

    • -

  • If the connection group contains an optional package that has an incorrect version, the package is ignored and won’t block the connection group’s virtual environment from being created.

    • -

  • If the connection group contains a non-optional package that has an incorrect version, the connection group’s virtual environment cannot be created.

MethodSteps

App-V Server – Management Console

    -

  1. In the Management Console, select CONNECTION GROUPS.

    2. -

  2. Select the correct connection group from the Connection Groups library.

    3. -

  3. Click EDIT in the CONNECTED PACKAGES pane.

    4. -

  4. Select Use Any Version check box next to the package name, and click Apply.

App-V Client on a Stand-alone computer

    -

  1. Create the connection group XML document.

    2. -

  2. For the package to be upgraded, set the Package tag attribute VersionID to an asterisk (*).

    3. -

  3. Use the following cmdlet to add the connection group, and include the path to the connection group XML document:

    -

    Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup

    4. -

  4. When you upgrade a package, use the following cmdlets to remove the old package, add the upgraded package, and publish the upgraded package:

    -
      -

    • RemoveAppvClientPackage

      • -

    • Add-AppvClientPackage

      • -

    • Publish-AppvClientPackage

ExcludeApp (optional)

Lets you specify Office programs that you don’t want included in the App-V package that the Office Deployment Tool creates. For example, you can exclude Access and InfoPath.

PACKAGEGUID (optional)

By default, all App-V packages created by the Office Deployment Tool share the same App-V Package ID. You can use PACKAGEGUID to specify a different package ID for each package, which allows you to publish multiple App-V packages, created by the Office Deployment Tool, and manage them by using the App-V Server.

-

An example of when to use this parameter is if you create different packages for different users. For example, you can create a package with just Office 2013 for some users, and create another package with Office 2013 and Visio 2013 for another set of users.

    Account for Synchronous Script Execution during Package Lifecycle.

    If script collateral is embedded in the package, Add (Powershell) may be significantly slower.

    +

    If script collateral is embedded in the package, Add cmdlets may be significantly slower.

    Running of scripts during virtual application launch (StartVirtualEnvironment, StartProcess) and/or Add+Publish will impact the perceived performance during one or more of these lifecycle operations.

    Use of Asynchronous (Non-Blocking) Scripts will ensure that the lifecycle operations complete efficiently.

    This step requires working knowledge of all virtual application packages with embedded script collateral, which have associated dynamic configurations files and which reference and run scripts synchronously.
