Citrix ICA

Hi
I have an problem from a customer regarding the QNX4 version
of Icamgr. Does the QNX RtP ICA version address this?
(In order to suggest to them to switch to RtP):

----Start of quote from customer------

  1. When selecting Published Application, the connection config jumps
    back to “Server” option after saving the config.
  2. There is no option, or no dialog to configure server farm
    connections, like server groups (primary and backup) so Citrix Metaframe
    Load Balancing does not work.
  3. There is no facilty to browse published applications from the ICA
    browser facilties of metaframe.

ICA Browser facilities and configuration is central to Citrix Metframe
Load Balancing and Application Publishing.

Take a look at the ICA linux client, to see how it can be done.

There is no Icamgr on RTP, yet. So, no.

This sounds like a bug in Icamgr

  1. There is no option, or no dialog to configure server farm
    connections, like server groups (primary and backup) so Citrix Metaframe
    Load Balancing does not work.

I was under the impression that all the load balancing
configuration is done on the server side (not the client)

  1. There is no facilty to browse published applications from the ICA
    browser facilties of metaframe.

Selecting Published app in the setup will populate the droplist
with all available published apps. Is this not working?

ICA Browser facilities and configuration is central to Citrix Metframe
Load Balancing and Application Publishing.

Take a look at the ICA linux client, to see how it can be done.

The source code we get from Citrix is the linux client source…

Thanks Gary
Is “ica” the only util/binary/script to run under RtP?
If so, how does one get the same functionality as Icamgr
used to give?

So far…

There will be an Icamgr (and icainfo) soon.

Any tips in the mean time how to invoke ica?
Which/how to modify the config files?

Are there other users of ica out there?

Thanks Gary

You can use your qnx4 config files. ica will look
for them in $PHOTON_PATH/config/ica/config or
you can start it as,
$ ICAROOT=/usr/photon/config/ica ica
or
$ ica -icaroot /usr/photon/config/ica
NOTE: it appends ‘/config’ on the end of icaroot

check out ‘use ica’

I’ve never tried, but I think there are docs on embedding rtp.
If you’re just using ica, all you really need is Photon,
grafx, tcp, and an input driver. With the editor, you’d need the
font manager and maybe the window manager…

thanks

I’m lookinf for exactly the same information - some simple 1-2-3-4 steps to
follow to generate a customized install image for QNX RTP that only has the
Citrix client, a selected few apps like Voyager pre-loaded, preferably to a
floppy-only install (even if 10 or 15 floppies were needed). Or even how to
set up a BOOTP/TFTP server so I could install the systems over a network
with just a boot floppy or two. A lot of the hardware I’m trying to use
doesn’t have a CD drive, and depends on other chips that are part of the
system to make the hard drives and/or flash look like an IDE drive which
means I can’t just remove the drives and put them in a system with RTP
already installed as that newer machine with built-in CD drive has no idea
how to handle the basically “dumb” PCMCIA drives.

If you hear of anyplace that has a HOWTO or walkthrough of the steps
involved, I’d love to hear of it too…

I 've tried installing it on 486 sx 8 mb ram and photon doesn’t start …
error

Are you sure that the graphics chipset on the board you used is supported?
