Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Overview
Citrix XenApp is an on-demand application delivery solution that enables any Windows® application to
be virtualized, centralized, and managed in the datacenter and instantly delivered as a service to users
anywhere on any device. In use by over 100 million users worldwide, XenApp delivers on the promise of
proven application compatibility. Once you’ve decided that the latest XenApp 6.5 version is the right fit
for your organization, it’s possible to migrate from a previous version of the product to maintain existing
data while providing a seamless transition for your users.
In this lab, we will step through performing multiple migrations from a XenApp 5 environment to a
XenApp 6.5 environment using the included migration components as well as the features of Web
Interface. Various options (both GUI and PowerShell) are available depending on the organizational
requirements. We’ll also see how it’s possible to segment users into distinct groups (Eg. Production and
pilot) to help facilitate the migration strategy.

END OF EXERCISE
20. Exercise 2: Direct Migration with the Migration Center Page 20
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Summary
Key
Takeaways
The key takeaways for this exercise are:
The Citrix XenApp Migration Center is an easy way to migrate farm settings
from XenApp 6.x or 5.0 to XenApp 6.5
The XenApp 6.5 farm needs to be able to communicate with the source
farm and a common administrative account must be used to perform a direct
migration
Migrations may be performed multiple times as needed and the source farm
settings will override conflicting ones in the destination farm
21. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 21
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the
PowerShell Interface
Overview
In this exercise we will perform a direct migration from an earlier version of XenApp to XenApp 6.5 using
the PowerShell interface. The PowerShell interface allows us to be selective with the settings we want to
bring over and provides additional control over the migration process.
Step-by-step guidance
Follow the steps below to complete the task. Note that PowerShell cmdlets are not case-sensitive but are
shown capitalized for readability purposes. PowerShell accepts standard command prompt input and
supports autocomplete with the tab key as well.
Estimated time to complete this lab: 15 minutes.
Step Action
1. Before we begin the steps for this next migration, we’ll need to start by deleting the current
data in the XenApp 6.5 farm. A PowerShell script has been created to assist us with the
process. From XA1, launch a new PowerShell session from the blue icon on the taskbar.
2. Unlike the XenApp Migration components, this script is unsigned so the PowerShell
Execution Policy needs to be set to the most permissive unrestricted level. Type
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted and press Enter. Type “Y” and press
Enter to confirm.
3. Type CD and press Enter to go to the drive root
22. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 22
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
4. Type .ResetFarm.ps1 and press Enter. Wait a moment for the script to finish
running.
NOTE: It is normal for some red errors to show here as certain built-in objects cannot be
deleted. Feel free to inspect the contents of the script file at C:resetfarm.ps1 in Notepad.
As an alternative to running this script file, we could have also manually deleted these
objects from Citrix AppCenter or recreated the farm; however, use of this script is much
quicker and easier.
5. Next we’ll want to delete the migration user profile data from the previous migration.
These files contain the migration settings and options. On XA1, browse to
C:Usersadministrator.trainingappdatalocalCitrixCitrix.XenApp.Migration via
the Windows Explorer address bar and delete the contents there.
NOTE: The “appdata” folder is hidden by default so you’ll need to enter the path in the
address bar or enable showing hidden folders.
23. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 23
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
6. Launch Windows PowerShell with Citrix XenApp Migration Module from Start ->
Administrative Tools -> Citrix -> XenApp Migration. (Alternatively you can bring up a
standard PowerShell prompt and run Import-Module
Citrix.XenApp.Migration)
7. As stated in the window, running Get-XAMigrationCommand will list all the cmdlets
for the migration component
8. Type the following and press Enter:
Set-XAMigrationOption –RemoteServerName XA51 –PassThru
This will configure the migration to pull all possible settings from the XA51 server and the
farm it belongs to. The –PassThru switch is a PowerShell option which outputs the
changes that have been made to the objects.
NOTE: Network COM+ Access was previously enabled and verified on the XA51 server.
This is a requirement when performing direct migrations (whether through the Migration
Center or by using the PowerShell cmdlets).
9. Let’s associate the XenApp 5 server to the worker group named “Main” by running
Add-XAServerMapping XA51 main and confirming the output. (If the worker
group doesn’t exist, which is the case in our environment, it will be created for us.)
10. Associate XA52 by running Add-XAServerMapping XA52 backup
11. Let’s take a look at the examples of the cmdlet
Set-XAMigrationOption by running:
Get-Help Set-XAMigrationOption –examples
24. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 24
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
12. We’ll start by explicitly disabling all objects for the migration since we only want to bring
over specific ones this time. The following statement will accomplish this:
Set-XAMigrationOption -ObjectType * -Enabled $false
13. Next run Set-XAMigrationOption -ObjectType application
-Enabled $true to enable the migration of published applications (it is possible to get
even more granular and selectively include or exclude specific applications).
14. Run Set-XAMigrationOption -ObjectType policy -Enabled $true
to enable the migration of policies.
15. Now let’s ensure that the Internet Explorer published application transfers over with the
correct “Program Files (x86)” path this time. To do this, run:
Set-XAMigrationOption –x86ApplicationList “Internet
Explorer”
16. Before we begin the migration, let’s run Start-XAMigration
–PendingReportOnly to see the changes we are about to make before we commit.
(The
–pendingreportonly switch is preferred to PowerShell’s
–WhatIf switch as it provides more details).
25. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 25
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
17. Type Start-XAMigration and press Enter to begin the migration process.
18. When the process completes, switch to Citrix AppCenter or re-launch it from the
Desktop.
19. Click the XenApp node and select Run discovery from the Actions pane on the right.
Click OK if the confirmation dialog is displayed.
20. Click the Administrators node and notice that the only administrator shown is
TRAININGadministrator since we did not import any administrators from the source
farm (only policies and applications were imported).
21. Right click the Internet Explorer published application and select Application properties
26. Exercise 3: Direct Migration with the PowerShell Interface Page 26
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
22. Click Location on the left and notice the command line and working directory reflect
“Program Files (x86)” since we used the –x86Application list option for this application
during the migration process. Click OK when done viewing.

Exercise 4: Indirect Migration with the
PowerShell Interface
Overview
In this exercise we will perform an indirect migration from XenApp 5 to XenApp 6.5 using the PowerShell
interface. This is required when there is no direct network path from the XenApp 6.5 farm to the source
farm and/or differences in administrative accounts.
Step-by-step guidance
Follow the steps below to complete the task
Estimated time to complete this lab: 15 minutes.
Step Action
1. Start by navigating to C: on XA1, right-click on ResetFarm.ps1 and select Run with
PowerShell
2. Switch to the XA51 virtual machine and go to adsoftware in Windows Explorer.
3. Run Citrix.XenApp.Migration.Install_x86.msi. The pre-requisite of PowerShell 2.0 has
already been installed.
29. Page 29
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
4. Proceed through the setup and when it completes choose to Set the PowerShell execution
policy to AllSigned before clicking Finish.
5. Launch the Windows PowerShell with Citrix XenApp Migration Module from Start ->
All Programs -> Citrix -> XenApp Migration
6. Type “a” to Always run and press Enter
7. Run Set-XAMigrationOption –RemoteServername XA51 –PassThru
8. Run Set-XAMigrationOption –DataFolderPath c:migration to set
the local path for the export files
9. Run Function Update-XAFileType {} which is required when performing
indirect migrations since this function needs a definition on the XenApp 5 platform.
30. Page 30
Citrix Virtual Classroom
Step Action
10. Run Start-XAMigration –ExportOnly to export the farm data to XML files.
11. In Windows Explorer, take a moment to browse and open the XML files at c:migration
to observe the contents.
12. Switch to the XA1 virtual machine
13. Copy the XML files from XA51C$migration to
C:Usersadministrator.trainingAppDataLocalCitrixCitrix.XenApp.Migration
Data
(remember that the AppData path is hidden by default) and override any existing files if
they exist
14. Delete the MigrationOptions.XML file located at
C:Usersadministrator.trainingAppDataLocalCitrixCitrix.XenApp.Migration
since we want to start from scratch with default options. This is the safest way to ensure no
previous settings from earlier migrations will be transferred since this file contains the
migration options such as which server to use, settings to include or exclude, etc. (but not
the settings themselves which are in the data directory)

Step Action
15. Switch to the open instance of Windows PowerShell with Citrix XenApp Migration
Module or re-launch one from Start -> Administrative Tools -> Citrix -> XenApp
Migration. (Alternatively you can bring up a standard PowerShell prompt and run
Import-Module Citrix.XenApp.Migration)
16. Run Get-XAMigrationOption to confirm that all settings are enabled for the
migration. (They should be by default as we deleted the MigrationOptions.XML file.
Running this command recreates the file and sets the default options.)
17. Run Add-XAServerMapping XA51 main
18. Run Add-XAServerMapping XA52 backup
19. Run Start-XAMigration –ImportOnly to begin the data import process. Wait a
brief moment for it to complete.
20. Switch to Citrix AppCenter or re-launch it from the Desktop.
21. Click the XenApp node and select Run discovery from the Actions pane on the right.
Click OK if the confirmation dialog is displayed.
22. Observe that the farm data objects (applications, policies, etc.) have imported with the
default options just as we saw before with the Citrix Migration Center (though this time
the migration was performed indirectly).

Takeaways
The key takeaways for this exercise are:
Indirect migrations may be performed when there is no direct connection
from the XenApp 6.5 farm to the source XenApp farm and/or administrator
accounts differ
An indirect migration is a two-step process where the data is first exported
to XML files and then these files are copied to a XenApp 6.5 server to be
imported
