XML Targets

Use this property page to define the targets (URLs) where you want Novell^® Application Launcher^TM to send report information about application events (distribution, launch, filtering, uninstall, cache, process termination) that occur on users' workstations. The information is sent as XML data using standard HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

For example, if you are using the ZENworks^® Desktop Management Application Reporting servlet to receive application events (in XML format) and add them to a JDBC-enabled database (such as the Sybase* database that is included with ZENworks), you would define the URL of the Application Reporting servlet. An example URL would be http://novell.com/sfdamrServlet/run.

This is just one of the tasks required to enable reporting of Application Management events through XML. You also need to:

• Associate the Service Location Package with the containers where the users or workstations reside whose reports you want sent as XML data.
• Enable XML as a reporting method and define the events (distribution, launch, filtering, uninstall, cache, process termination) that you want reported. This must be done individually for each application whose events you want reported. You use the Application object's Reporting page to enable XML reporting and define the reported events (Application object > Common tab > Reporting page).
• Make sure you've set up the XML processing mechanism and data storage mechanism. For example, if you are using the Application Reporting servlet and the Sybase database, make sure that each are set up and configured properly. For information, see the ZENworks Desktop Management online documentation.
