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.
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.
