A.2 ZENworks Bundle Publishing

The ZENworks Bundle Publishing options let you create a ZENworks Configuration Management bundle that contains the virtualized application and publish the bundle to your ZENworks system.

Software is distributed by ZENworks Configuration Management through the use of bundles. A bundle consists of all the files, configuration settings, installation instructions, and so forth required to deploy and manage the application or files on a device.

  1. While configuring the virtual application, click the ZENworks button on the left side of the ZENworks Application Virtualization console to display the ZENworks Bundle Publishing settings.

  2. Fill in the fields:

    Project Type: Select MSI or Executable. The MSI or Executable must be built before publication.

    Zone: Click Select Zone, specify the ZENworks Server Address, click Connect, log in to the ZENworks Server with the appropriate Username and Password, then click OK.

    The Management Zone is the management domain that includes the ZENworks Primary Servers and managed devices in your ZENworks system.

    Bundle Name: Specify a name for the bundle.

    Bundle Folder: Specify the name of the ZENworks Control Center folder where you want the bundle to reside.

    A folder is an organizational object. Folders are used to structure bundles and bundle groups into a manageable hierarchy for the ZENworks system.

    Install Path: Specify the installation path that you want to use for the application on managed devices.

    Account: Specify the ZENworks Configuration Management administrator username and password.

  3. (Optional) Select the Store Zone credentials in .xapple file option to avoid being prompted to specify the administrator username and password in the future.

    IMPORTANT:This is a potential security risk because the ZENworks credentials are stored in the .xappl configuration file as plain text.

  4. (Optional) Select the Automatically publish applications as ZENworks bundle after successful build option to automatically create the ZENworks bundle after it is built.

  5. (Conditional) Select the Automatically publish applications as ZENworks bundle after successful build option to automatically publish the bundle to the folder you specified in Step 2.

    Click Publish Now to publish the bundle to the folder you specified in Step 2.
