Novell® ZENworks® 6 Web Self-Service (also known as ZENworks OnDemand ServicesTM in previous releases) has been discontinued and is not included in ZENworks 6.5. Depending on how extensively you used the Web Self-Service functionality, you can either maintain full ZENworks 6 Web Self-Service functionality or you can upgrade and use only the launching capability provided by the ZENworks 6.5 Launch gadget.
Coexistence: ZENworks 6 Web Self-Service can coexist with ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management. The ZENworks 6 Launch Item gadget displays 6.5 applications (those applications whose Application objects are created with the ZENworks 6.5 snap-ins for ConsoleOne®) and pre-6.5 applications, but it can only successfully launch pre-6.5 applications. This means that you need to maintain your pre-6.5 applications by managing them with the pre-6.5 snap-ins. For DeFrameTM terminal server applications, you must also maintain your ZENworks DeFrame terminal servers.
Upgrade: To maintain the ability to launch ZENworks applications from within a Novell exteNdTM DirectorTM 4.1 SE portal, the Launch Item gadget (renamed to the ZENworks Launch gadget in ZENworks 6.5) is included as part of ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management. The ZENworks Launch gadget provides launching of applications whose Application objects are created using the ZENworks 6.5 snap-ins for ConsoleOne. It does not display applications whose Application objects were created with pre-6.5 snap-ins.
The following sections provide instructions for upgrading to the ZENworks Launch gadget:
