Description

XenApp Hotfix Rollup Packs are distribution mechanisms that provide a simplified methodology for customers to update their servers quickly and easily by grouping all available problem fixes into a single package. Hotfix rollup packs are released as needed based on customer demand.

Benefits of Hotfix Rollup Packs

  • Fewer hotfixes to install.

  • Hotfix rollup packs install and function the same way as regular hotfixes.

  • Hotfix rollup packs contain more fixes than hotfixes, reducing the overhead of maintaining servers at the latest code levels.

  • Hotfix rollup packs undergo more thorough and vigorous testing than regular hotfixes. Testing includes monitoring the way a large number of fixes interact, as well as large farm scalability and performance.
