citrix program neighborhood agent fails due to hight cpu usage posted: Oct 10, 2008 3:02 AM

Hiho,

i tried to package the citrix pna version 10.150 to 11.000 but failed to do so. When i start the thinapp'ed pnamain.exe it takes 50% of the cpu resources and stands still. I tried nearly everything with different version of hte pna and thinapp.


Today i tried to package the pn agent with xenocode which does nearly the same as thinapp. And to my surprise the package runs fine. It connects to our citrix server and i can start the given appz from the systray as it should be.

Has somebody else tried this and could give me a hint?

(And thx Jeroen for your earlier attemps to help me. As you can see i didn't manage it ...)

PS: I install the pna with this command line


%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /I "%SOURCEPATH%\ica32pkg.msi" /qn /l*v "%tmp%\ica.log" ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME=Yes ENABLE_SSON=Yes ALLOW_REBOOT=No SERVER_LOCATION=http://%SERVERNAME%/citrix/pnagent_client/config.xml REINSTALLMODE=OUMS CTX_PN_ENABLE_CUSTOMICA=No


%SERVERNAME% is the local citrix server

indeed, Xenocode seems to have a better app compatibility than VMware ThinApp by now ... and they are releasing new versions of their product more frequently!
I don't think its better on all aspects but VMware should wake up and continue to make ThinApp product better.

So, this apparently is still an issue?

Just tried to capture CitrixOnline Plugin v11.2 with Thinapp 4.0.3 and when launched it sits there eating CPU, seemingly something is going in a loop...

Anyone found a workaround or do I need to invoke my "premium support" with VMware? :D

Sundance_BN have you tried with 4.0.4 it should not be public yet?
If not please give 4.0.4 a try. Will be released the 9th of November. I am not sure if it has any fixes for Citrix but there is a lot of fixes so it might..

Changelogs are good.

Frequent updates are good.

:D

This problem seems to have been with us since 2008, and I'm pretty sure 4.0.3 is newer than that ;) Maybe Citrix does a "detect VMware routine" and goes into a NOOP loop...

Have you filed a support ticket on this?

Nope, not yet. Just discovered the problem yesterday and haven't filed a ticket before so I need to research how to do that properly :) Was searching the forum to see if anyone had issues with it in the past and found this :)

In other words you did exactly like we want you to do before filing a support ticket :) That is great..


If possible I would wait and give 4.0.4 a try just because it is so close. If it is still not fixed I would file a support ticket.
