TSE 7.0
Propalms Ltd.
Published February 2013
Overview
This document covers the new features, enhancements and changes introduced in TSE v7.
Launchpad URL:
This holds the URL to connect to Propalms TSE Web server or DMZ SPR. If SSL is enabled for TSE WEB or accessing DMZ
SPR that has SSL enabled, type https://WebServerOrDMZserver/Launchpad. If /Launchpad is not added in the URL the
client will automatically append it when sending the request.
Note: Domain field can be left blank if not sure of the exact domain name.
TSE- DC will also offer an option to display a custom logo on the desktop client window, hence making it easier to localize the desktop client as
a corporate or company app. To get a custom icon shown on Desktop client, use the TSE Customization page in TSE Console- Options-System,
to upload the required icon. Keep the icon size to a max of 60x60 pixels and in png format.
Custom Icon
Note: Desktop client does not currently show folder grouping of apps as shown in Launchpad Web portal.
TSE Admin can control and allow users to choose these specific parameters by setting the corresponding parameters in TSE ConsoleConnection Settings template to User Choice. If the TSE Admin does not set it to User Choice the user settings are ignored and the ones set
in TSE Console Connection Settings are enforced.
The Launch settings for current user are saved locally on each client machine as part of users Windows profile. They do not get saved centrally
on the server side, so a user has to configure the launch settings if logging from a different client machine or logged in as a different Windows
user.
Display settings are some common display settings that end users may configure to their requirement. The Use Multi-Monitor setting allows all
available client side monitors to be used by the launched application.
Resource Redirection can be used to re-direct required drives and printers when needed. They should be disabled by default to avoid
unnecessary redirection of client side resources on the server.
Logon Settings are some TSE specific settings that end user can configure.
Use Server Internal address to connect - This setting when enabled forces the TSE client to launch applications using TSE App servers private IP
address. This is useful in the event when a TSE App server is configured with public and private address both. By default TSE client connects to the
public IP address if available. If there are local LAN and remote users, LAN users can enable this setting and connect directly using private IP of the
server instead of public.
Enable Single Sign On - When enabled TSE v7 client will cache the Windows logon information and use it to authenticate against TSE. This should be
used in AD environment where client machine is part of the same domain as TSE Servers. This will eliminate an extra AD login for end users when
connecting and launching apps with TSE. Note: This setting will only work if TSE Admin has enabled AD SSO in TSE Console Options Users page.
Connect Using SPR - This should be enabled if TSE App launch needs to go over TSE Single Port Relay (SPR) server. Commonly needed when
connecting and launching apps over the internet. Note that SPR server has to be configured in advance before enabling this setting on the client side,
else the connections will fail.
Connect Using DMZ SPR - Works same as the SPR setting. Here the connection is forced over a TSE DMZ SPR server. SPR and DMZ-SPR settings
cannot be enabled simultaneously.
HyperPrint Settings allows a user to manage their print settings for the TSE HyperPrint feature.
Other Settings provides some miscellaneous user options for the client.
Create Launchpad shortcut - Drops a desktop shortcut for TSE Launchpad WEB Portal on users desktop.
Do not delete shortcuts on Exit - TSE Application desktop and start menu shortcuts remain even if TSE client has been closed or exited.
Open Desktop Client on Start-up - Auto starts the TSE Desktop client on Windows logon.
Auto Fill User Information from config file - If TSE client config file (PCMConfig.xml) exists on the client machine, TSE Desktop client will
fill the Launchpad URL , User and Domain information from the config file.
Auto Refresh Application shortcuts - This when enabled forces the TSE Client to carry out a refresh of TSE Application list and shortcuts. Default Auto
refresh time interval is set to 30 minutes. This can be changed by user by modifying a reg value. Minimum interval allowed is 15 minutes, anything less
than 15 minutes will be ignored and no refresh will happen.

Use the Reset SMTP Settings option incase you need to revert to the default TSE SMTP settings.
Do not enter the SMTP password, leave it blank.
Verify the entered SMTP settings by clicking the Test SMTP Settings button. Success message or appropriate error will be shown.
TSE server A goes offline generating a notification email for server A. Say 5 minutes later Server B goes offline while Server A
is still offline. A new notification email will be sent combining the alerts for Server A and B being offline.
Notification Events
Product License key nears Expiry:
This event is raised when a TSE product Evaluation license is due for expiry or TSE product Base Key license has not been activated. For TSE
evaluation license notification alerts are sent daily when 5 or less than 5 days remain for license expiry. For TSE Base Key activation, notification
alerts are sent daily when 10 or less than 10 days remain before the Base Key activation limit expires.

TSE Server goes offline:
Event is raised if a TSE Server running status goes offline in TSE Management Console. This is common when a TSE server is rebooted or TSE
Services being restarted.
Active license count over 90 percent:
This event gets raised when the Available User license count falls to 10 % of the Total User License Available. This alert is helpful in situation
where TSE system is running to full capacity of its user licenses and may need some TSE User license addition.
Database communication failure:
This event is raised when an online TSE Server in the team fails to connect with the SQL server hosting the Propalms Database.

Exporting configuration
Click on Export Team Configuration to start exporting TSE configuration,
Select the items you wish to export and hit the Export button. Once Export is completed a status page with the Export action report will be
shown. The exported items are saved in a single XML file with the name TSETeamConfig.xml .This file is created and saved in the TSE Depot
directory of TSE WEB server on which TSE Console site it being run. (\Inetpub\wwwroot\Depot\TseTeamConfig.xml).
Repeating the export action at a later time will overwrite the contents of the same XML file.
TSE Admin can choose to export one or more items later to have the most recent list of TSE objects and settings saved.
Importing Configuration
Click on the Import Team Configuration action item to start importing TSE object in existing TSE team. Note that before starting the Import
operation, the TSEteamConfig.xml from which items need to be imported should be present in the Depot directory of TSE WEB server on which
TSE Console site is being run. (\Inetpub\wwwroot\Depot\TseTeamConfig.xml).
Select the items to import from xml and hit Import.
When importing Application items, only application configuration information is imported. Icons for the imported application dont get
imported. The application icons will have to be re-created using the Update icon option in TSE Console Manage- Applications page.
Note that once the tseconfig.xml has been used to import items to a specific team, trying to re-import from the same config file to the same
TSE team will fail. This is by design to prevent duplication of items with same name and ID. This is done by setting a re-use tag in the
TSEteamConfig.xml file after it has been successful used to import items.
In case there is a need to re-import items when the previously imported items, application list and settings have been deleted in the TSE team
Open the TseTeamConfig.xml in any text editor application and set the following tag lines <nm-updated>1</nm-updated> value from 1 to
0. Once the tag values are set to Zero, the objects in the xml file can be re-imported.
Note: In Add network printers, only printers that are shared on the network and have the necessary permissions to access it are discoverable by
the TSE Add Network printers page.
Select the desired printers to be added and click ADD
Once added, use the Add Group, OU, Client group action item to assign these printers to specific Groups, OUs and Client groups. If the end
user launching TSE App belongs to more than one AD Group or OU, network printers from all Group/OU membership for the user will be
created in TSE session.
Clicking on the TSE Groups/OU in TSE Console Manage- Groups/OU page now shows the applications, printers and lockdown policies
assigned to the specific Group/OU.
Default: It launches the app from the exact path specified in the Application path field
b.
System Drive: Here TSE during actual app launch will retrieve the default system drive of the target app server and accordingly change
the application launch path.
c.
Find Run time: Here TSE scans all local drives of App server for the application path and once found, launches the application.
Shows the total TSE Session count on each TSE App Server
Client Upgrade Notification When disabled this will hide client upgrade notifications to end user when a newer client is available for
download. This setting can be used when TSE Admin does not want end user to be notified of a client upgrade available.
Action menu in expanded mode - Menu will auto collapse once the mouse is outside the Action Menu region.

Browse to upload the required images, for Console, Launchpad and Home About page in TSE Console.
Note: The upload of new images requires that the IUSR account under which IIS Anonymous authentication works should have write access to
the TSE Console, Launchpad and Depot directory. We recommend removing the write access once the required images have been uploaded
successfully. If there is more than one TSE WEB server, upload the custom images on each TSE WEB server by running the TSE WEB Console
from that respective server.
