Just before the main application process is started (i.e.

After the package contents has been streamed and cached to the client.Before the package contents are streamed from the server to the client.There are three possible execution points with two variations of each, minus one: Still keeping on topic of the lifecycle of the application you add the scripting into each script needs to have information on when exactly it needs to be executed regarding the lifecycle of that one virtual application represented by the OSD file. Sadly, doing so in the Sequencer UI is not directly supported and so is much easier вЂњby handвЂќ in the text editor.ДЄnother lifecycle вЂ“related restriction of scripting is that you cannot trigger App-V package (OSD) scripting for operations performed in the App-V Client Management Console like for instance when application is removed from the client (that would actually be very useful if it could be done, as way to do cleanups of changes against real system). To overcome this, you usually would copy the same script over to multiple applications to make sure it will execute regardless what gets launched first. In other words, you cannot apply scripting to whole of the package вЂ“ at least not without some additional tweaking of your package вЂ“ even if the requirement would be like that, such as when you want to do some massaging of the underlying system before user launches an application out of possibly multiple ones published from that package (so itвЂ™s nondeterministic for you, as a packager, which one of them you attach your script to). Like the topic already reveals, this scripting functionality needs to be added into one or more OSD files in an App-V package and thus is tied into runtime вЂњlifecycleвЂќ of one specific application published out of the package. An example of such functionality could be things like network drive mappings, modification into the local system (very dependent on userвЂ™s access rights of course) or pre application launch pre-requisites checking.

OSD scripting is a way to add dynamic or added functional behavior into App-V packages outside what the App-V itself as a virtualization technology provides.

In this article, I want to give a brief lesson on something called OSD scripting.
