Session Reliability
Session Reliability keeps ICA sessions active and on the user’s screen when
network connectivity is interrupted. Users continue to see the application they are
using until network connectivity resumes without prompting for users’ credentials
again.
This feature is especially useful for mobile users with wireless connections. If a
user with a wireless link enters a road or railroad tunnel and momentarily loses
connectivity, the display on the client device freezes until connectivity resumes on
the other side of the tunnel. The user continues to access the display during the
interruption and can resume interaction with the application when the network
connection is restored.
Session Reliability is available and enabled by default with the Enterprise and
Advanced Editions of MetaFrame Presentation Server. This feature is supported
with Version 8 or later of the MetaFrame Presentation Server Client for 32-bit
Windows.
Workspace Control
Workspace Control enables users to quickly switch between client devices and is
especially useful to roaming or mobile users. You now have the ability to configure,
and allow users to configure, the following controls on the Program Neighborhood
Agent interface or the Web Interface:
• Log on. You can configure user logon behavior to include automatically
reconnecting to disconnected sessions only or reconnecting to disconnected and
active sessions.
• Disconnect. The new Disconnect command allows users to disconnect from all
applications at once.
• Reconnect. You can configure the Reconnect command to mean reconnecting
to disconnected sessions only or reconnecting to disconnected and active
sessions.
• Log off. For the Web Interface, you can configure logoff behavior as logging off
from the Web Interface and all active sessions together or logging off from the
Web Interface only.
Workspace Control is available if you are using the Advanced or Enterprise Edition
of MetaFrame Presentation Server. For more information about Workspace Control,
see “Workspace Control” on page 59.
