Session merge

Resolution

Session Merge: When enabled, the application can be merged into an existing application session.

The merge will only happen when the new application shares a number of settings with the existing applications in the session.

Required shared application settings:

• Allow Session Merge enabled Protocol is Remote Application
• Same Application Server
• Equal Recording settings
• Equal Smartcard settings
• Equal Unicode Keyboard Support settings
• Ask for Credentials disabled
• Same Context Policy labels
• Same RDS Collection labels

Advantages:

• Applications will start faster and consume fewer resources on the application server.

Side effects:

• Users will see multiple applications in the same application session when they resize or minimize one of the applications.
• Applications that are merged will also be shown together in the list of Active Sessions in the sidebar of the user.
• The color depth setting of the merged application will be ignored.
