Summary

This technical note explains how to install and publish Reflection products (version 11.0 through 12.x) to a Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server with Citrix MetaFrame 1.8.

Before proceeding, note the following:

• To evaluate Reflection on your Citrix server, obtain a Reflection Evaluator CD, rather than downloading the evaluation software, and installing from the CD. The original media may be required when removing the product. You can obtain a free copy of the Reflection Evaluator CD from http://www.attachmate.com/Evals/.
• If you are installing Reflection to one of the multi-user operating systems listed below, see the associated technical note.

• For more information about upgrading and patching Reflection products, see the following technical notes:

• Beginning in Reflection 13.0, Windows NT 4.0 is no longer supported.

Running Reflection with Citrix MetaFrame

The following sections describe how to install and publish Reflection applications in a Citrix MetaFrame environment.

Note: This note assumes that Citrix is installed and configured in your network environment. For information about implementing a Citrix server and installing and publishing applications in a Citrix MetaFrame environment, please refer to the Citrix documentation at http://www.citrix.com.

Installing Reflection Executables

Install Reflection to the Citrix server. Before proceeding with the installation, note the following:

• Reflection 10.0 or higher require Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) version 2.0 or higher. During installation, if MSI 2.0 or higher is not detected on your machine, you will be prompted to install the MSI service. After installing the service, you must restart Windows and restart the Reflection installation.

• Attachmate recommends that you close all applications, including the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) Toolbar, before installing Reflection.

To install the Reflection executable files, follow the steps below.

1. At your Windows Terminal Server console, log in as Administrator. From Control Panel, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon, and then click Install on the Install/Uninstall Tab.
2. When prompted to Install Program From Floppy Disk or CD-ROM, insert the CD and click Next.

3. When prompted to Run Installation Program, follow these steps.

1. Browse to and double-click Evaluate.exe.
2. Under User Option, select All users begin with common application, and then click Next.
3. When the Welcome window opens, click Continue.
4. To evaluate Reflection X, click PC UNIX Integration. To evaluate Reflection for HP, Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS, Reflection for IBM, or Reflection for ReGIS Graphics, click Windows Based Terminal Emulation.
5. Click Evaluate Reflection Now.
6. Select the product to install, click Install, and then proceed to step 4 below.

1. Browse to and double-click Install.exe.
2. Under User Option, select All users begin with common application, and then click Next.
3. When the Welcome window opens, click Install Reflection.
4. Click Install Reflection, select the product to install, and then click Workstation Install.
4. When the Reflection Wizard opens, carefully read all messages, warnings, and instructions presented, and then click Next.
5. Proceed through the installation, using the following details when applicable. If you have questions about this process, please contact Attachmate Technical Support. For information on contacting support, see http://support.attachmate.com/contact/.

• Beginning in version 11.0, Reflection NFS Client is supported the multi-user environment; earlier versions cannot be installed on a Citrix server.

• The SNA engine. The SNA engine was originally designed to run on individual PC workstations. Modifications have been made to enable the SNA engine to function in a Terminal Server environment, but it can handle only a limited number of simultaneous connections (10 or less). For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you use Telnet in an IBM environment.
• Reflection Virtual Desktop. This feature causes extra network overhead.
• Performance Tuner. If the Performance Tuner is installed, the first time users run Reflection X they will be prompted to run the Performance Tuner. Attachmate strongly recommends that you not install the Performance Tuner, or that you uninstall it, in the Windows Terminal Server environment. The Performance Tuner offers no value in the Windows Terminal Server environment.

Publishing Reflection Applications

If you are using Citrix MetaFrame, follow the steps below to publish the Reflection executable files to the MetaFrame environment.

Note: These steps refer to Citrix MetaFrame 1.8. The same concepts and settings apply to Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0, but the steps will be slightly different. Please refer to your Citrix MetaFrame documentation for further details.

1. Click Start > Programs > MetaFrame Tools > Published Application Manager.
2. Click Application, and then click New.
3. Enter an Application Name and Description, and then click Next.
4. Select the Explicit radio button, and then click Next.

5. In the Specify What to Publish dialog box:
   1. Click Browse, navigate to the Reflection installation directory (<Metadrive>:\Program Files\Reflection, by default), select the Reflection EXE file, and click OK.

Product	Executable
Reflection for HP	R1win.exe
Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS	R2win.exe
Reflection for ReGIS Graphics	R4win.exe
Reflection for IBM	R8win.exe
Reflection FTP Client	Rftpc.exe
Reflection X	Rx.exe

2. Optional. Specify a settings file to be used when Reflection is launched. To do so, add the path and settings file name to the end of the Command Line.

3. Change the Working Directory to <Metadrive>:\wtsrv\profiles\%username%\Personal\Reflection.

4. Click Next.
6. Select Maximize application at startup, and then click Next.
7. Select the applicable program neighborhood settings, and then click Next.
8. Select the applicable neighborhood administration features.

9. Select the Trusted Domain where your user and group accounts are located, click Add, and then click Next.
10. Choose the accounts or groups who should have access to Reflection (typically Domain Users), click Add, and then click Next.
11. Choose the server farm you want to run Reflection from, and then click Next.

12. Click Finish.

The Reflection application should now appear in the console with Type set to Explicit, and State set to Enable.

Note: If you are using Citrix MetaFrame XP, and you are unable to see your published applications on the device where the ICA connection resides, follow these steps:

1. Open the Citrix Program Neighborhood and click Find New Application Set.
2. Navigate to the Server Location, which defaults to "auto-detect."
3. Change the Server Location to the IP Address for the Citrix Server you are connecting to. Click Next twice, and then click Finish.

When you refresh the Citrix Program Neighborhood you should now see all of your published applications.
