App-V Deployment Data Tab

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager (Home Tab) | Home Deployment Type View

Note:Because Microsoft App-V server only supports App-V 5.0 packages, the App-V Deployment Data subtab is only displayed for App-V 5.0 packages.

When an App-V 5.0 package is imported into the Application Catalog, Application Manager mines package elements for Microsoft App-V-specific deployment data. You can view and modify data for App-V 5.0 packages and add new data by editing the properties on the subtabs of the App-V Deployment Data tab. AdminStudio displays App-V deployment data in a multi-tabbed, organized format that is easy to navigate through and to update.

Advanced Settings Tab / App-V Information Subtab
Property	Description
Dynamic Deployment Configuration Path	Virtual application packages contain a manifest that provides all the core information for the package, including the defaults for the package settings. However, you can use XML-based dynamic configuration files to customize App-V 5.0 packages. This provides a more convenient method for package customization by removing the need to re-sequence packages using the desired settings, and provides a way to keep package content and custom settings independent, similar to the way that you can customize a Windows Installer package using a transform file (.mst). You can create a dynamic deployment configuration file to specify the default settings for this App-V package for all users. Enter the path to a dynamic deployment configuration file in the Dynamic Deployment Configuration Path field. This file will be used to override the default behavior provided in the package’s manifest. If you do not specify a path to a dynamic deployment configuration file, the App-V agent will deploy the package with the default behavior provided in the package's manifest. Note:Only one dynamic deployment configuration file can be entitled to a package. Note:If you specify both a dynamic deployment configuration file and a dynamic user configuration file, both will be applied: first the dynamic deployment configuration file and then the dynamic user configuration file.
Dynamic User Configuration Path	Virtual application packages contain a manifest that provides all the core information for the package, including the defaults for the package settings. However, you can use XML-based dynamic configuration files to customize App-V 5.0 packages. This provides a more convenient method for package customization by removing the need to re-sequence packages using the desired settings, and provides a way to keep package content and custom settings independent, similar to the way that you can customize a Windows Installer package using a transform file (.mst). In addition to being able to create a dynamic deployment configuration file to specify the default settings for this App-V package for all users, you can also create a dynamic user configuration file to customize these settings for specified groups of users. Enter the path to a dynamic user configuration file in the Dynamic User Configuration Path field. If you do not specify a path to a dynamic user configuration file, the App-V agent will deploy the package with the behavior provided by a dynamic deployment configuration file, if specified, or the default behavior provided in the package's manifest. Important:If you specify a dynamic user configuration file, but do not enter a user group in the User Configuration Grant Access field, then that dynamic user configuration file will not be applied to any users. Note:Only one dynamic user configuration file can be entitled to a package. Note:If you specify both a dynamic deployment configuration file and a dynamic user configuration file, both will be applied: first the dynamic deployment configuration file and then the dynamic user configuration file.
User Configuration Grant Access	If you want to apply a dynamic user configuration file to a specific group of users, enter that group here in domain\groupname format. I To specify more than one group, enter the values in comma-separated format: asdev\group1,asdev\group2 Important:If you specify a dynamic user configuration file in the Dynamic User Configuration Path field, but do not enter a user group in this field, then that dynamic user configuration file will not be applied to any users.
Connection Group	Lists the connection groups that this package has been added to. Note:This is a read-only field that lists the connection groups that this package has been added to, as described in Creating an App-V Server Virtual Environment.
