Should we use Citrix for Forms ?
markradiMar 20 2008 — edited Mar 20 2008My Customer is going to migrate his Forms-Application to Forms10.
We know a couple the problems/differences we should be aware of.
For example we create files on the local PC and open them with MS-Excel .. We could create those files on the AS, with unique naming, we could open them in the browser. We could also create them on the Client with webutil or transfer the file from the AS to the client with Webutil.
But for a couple of workplaces (in different locations) my Customer is going to use Citrix with Thin-Clients. The Thin-Clients will run MS-Office on the Citrix-Server so the User-Files will be on the Citrix-Server or the File-Server.
In this Scenario, what is the best approach on running Web-Forms ?
1. Try to create a Thin-Client image with all the Java-Classes installed (because once turned off it will start from scratch again) and run Forms-UI on the Thin-Client Browser. But where should we store those files ?
2. Run Web-Forms on Citrix (which is unsupported I think) and the we could store the User-Files on the normal Citrix-Userspace woth Webutil which then runs on the Citrix-Server
Thanks,
Mark
