Distributions

Displays the Desktop Application Distributions associated with the golden Application object that was created in Novell^® ZENworks^® Desktop Management.

Source Application
Displays the golden Application object that the distributed Application object was created from.

Replicated Applications
Displays the distributed Application objects that have been created from the golden Application object. The listing is displayed in random order. In order for Tiered Electronic Distribution to distribute the software files for a listed Application object, you must have at least one Desktop Application Distribution listed for it in the Distributions Currently In list box.

Link Up Site Lists
For Desktop Management users and workstations to have automatic access to their applications from any geographic location, you must link up the site lists:

1. Wait for the Desktop Application Distribution to be distributed and extracted by each Subscriber server that received it, because the distributed Application objects must be created and the application's files installed before you can link up the site lists.
   
   
2. In ConsoleOne^®, right-click the golden Application object that was used to build the Distribution, then click Properties.
   
   
3. Click the Distributions tab, then click the Link Up Site Lists button.
   
   
4. Click OK to close the golden Application object’s properties.
   
   All distributed Application objects that were created from the golden Application object are displayed in the Replicated Applications list box, and all Distributions containing the distributed Application objects are listed in the Distributions Currently In list box.
   
   The Link Up Site List button does the following:

   a. For the golden Application object, it searches for each distributed Application object that was created from the Distribution and lists the full DN of those objects in the golden Application object's properties (in the Replicated Applications list box).
   
   b. For each distributed Application object, it searches for the other distributed Application objects that were created from the Distribution; for the golden Application object, it lists the full DN of all of these objects in the distributed Application object's properties (in the Replicated Applications list box).
   
   c. Steps a and b are repeated for each distributed Application object.
   
   d. For each Application object listed in the Replicated Applications list box, any Distributions associated with those objects are listed in the Distributions Currently In list box in each of these Application objects.
   
   

   Thus, the golden Application object and all distributed Application objects have each other listed in their Replicated Applications list box, which allows users to have local access to the same application no matter where they connect to their network.
   
   
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each golden Application object that was used to build the Desktop Application Distribution.
   
   You need to perform the site list link-up only on the golden Application objects.
