Extent of Source Application at Destination

You can determine how much of a source application that you want to distribute. For example, you can distribute the ZENworks® for Desktops (ZfD) application to a specific target location, or you can mirror the source's tree structure at the destination location.

Source Tree Structure
Choose whether to maintain the source tree information in the Distribution object.

Maintain the Source Tree Structure
Click to duplicate the source tree's structure at the destination's location (the target Subscriber's working context) for placing the ZfD application objects. If you will be selecting chained applications, you must enable this option.

Maintain
Click to maintain the associations established in the source tree between the distributed applications and the trusted user/workstation groups and containers. This is done by replicating the associated groups or containers at the target location if they do not exist. However, users or workstations contained in the groups or containers in the source location are not replicated.

Source Root Container
Select a container to be used as the root container for the ZfD application objects to be distributed. You should only select application objects from this root container and its subordinate containers.

Load Balance and Fault Tolerance Support
Choose whether to use automated load balancing, fault tolerance, or neither.

Load Balance
Click to use the automated load balancing feature. If you select this feature, the functionality of fault tolerance is automatically accomplished through load balancing.

Automated load balancing enables server workload to be spread over the servers being used for the Desktop Application Distributions.

Fault Tolerance
Click to use the automated fault tolerance feature. If you select this feature, load balancing will not be done.

Automated fault tolerance allows a server being used for Desktop Application Distributions to assume the distribution duties of another server that has gone down.

None
Click this option if you want to manually configure each application object for load balancing or fault tolerance.
