Publishing

Use the Publishing tab of a managed application to publish the managed application as a Citrix XenApp published application, as Citrix XenApp published content, or as a Microsoft RemoteApp application.

  • A Citrix XenApp published application is an application that runs on a Citrix XenApp server, but which behaves as if it were running on the user's local computer. Citrix XenApp published content is a file (such as a PDF document, a media file, or a URL) in any network location in your environment. When the content is published, a shortcut to the document is placed in the end user's Start Menu. See Publish Citrix XenApp Applications.
  • A Microsoft RemoteApp application is an application that runs on a Terminal Server, but because it integrates seamlessly with the user desktop, it behaves as if it were running on the user's computer. See Set up Microsoft RemoteApp applications
