Enabling Usage Tracking of an Application

By default, desktop and thin-client applications are not enabled for usage tracking, but Web applications are. To enable a desktop or thin-client application:

  1. In ConsoleOne®, right-click the Application object.

  2. Click the OnDemand tab to display the Usage Tracking page.

  3. Click the Enable OnDemand Services to Track Usage of This Application check box to turn on the option.

    IMPORTANT:  Thin-client applications that have been enabled for usage tracking cannot be launched from Novell Application LauncherTM (ZENworks for Desktops). Desktop applications that have been enabled for usage tracking can be launched from Novell Application Launcher, but only after having been launched from the OnDemand Services Launch Item gadget.

  4. If you want OnDemand Services to terminate the application if its usage expires while the user is running it, complete the following substeps. Otherwise, the user will be able to use the application until he or she exits.

    1. Click the Availability tab, then click Termination.

    2. Select the desired termination behavior, then click OK. .

      For a description of each behavior, click the Help button on the Termination page
