You can install and run IBM® Integration Designer on a Citrix Presentation Server so that multiple users can then connect remotely from their Citrix Presentation Server clients.

About this task

Follow these instructions to install IBM Integration Designer to run on Citrix Presentation Server.

Note: Throughout this text, the terms installer and product installer refer to the user ID that installed IBM Integration Designer.

Procedure

When you install IBM Integration Designer on the server, ensure that you are logged on as a user with administrator access.
After installing, ensure that the installation directory is read-only. This is the product directory, not the shared install directory. This step will ensure that the configuration information is written in the home directory. If this measure is not taken, all users will end up using the same location for their configuration area, which is not supported.
Note: Ensure that client users are granted write permission to the following directory, or the integrated test environment server status can't be detected: install_root\runtimes\bi_version_stub\
When launching IBM Integration Designer from a client, the workspace is created in a directory specified by the user.
To use the servers in the test environment, a profile is required for each non-administrator user. The product installer can grant write permission to the appropriate IBM Business Automation Workflow files and directories to other non-administrator users. The non-administrator users can then create profiles. Alternatively, the product installer can create a group for users who are authorized to create profiles or give individual users the authority to create profiles. The following example task shows how to create a group that is authorized to create profiles.

About this task

The installer can perform the following steps to create the profilers group and give the group appropriate permissions to create a profile.

Procedure

Log on to the IBM Integration Designer system as the product installer (the product installer can be an administrator or non-administrator user).
Using operating system commands, do the following tasks:
1. Create a group named profilers, which will contain all users who can create profiles.
2. Create a user named user1, who can create profiles.
3. Add users product_installer and user1 to the profilers group.
As the product installer, set access control to grant profilers read and write permission to these directories and files under the install_root (C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103). Follow instructions in the Citrix and Windows documentation to give the profilers group read and write permission to the following directories and their files:
```
C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103\logs\manageprofiles
C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103\logs\config
C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103\properties
C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103\properties\fsdb
C:\IBM\IID\Workflow\v2103\properties\profileRegistry.xml
```
You might have to change the permissions on additional files if the non administrative user encounters permission errors. For example, if the product installer authorizes a non administrative user to delete a profile, then product installer might have to delete the following file:
```
install_root\properties\profileRegistry.xml_LOCK
```
Give write access to the non-administrator user for the file to authorize the user to delete the file. If the non-administrator user still cannot delete the profile, then the product installer can delete the profile.

Results

The installer created the profilers group and gave the group proper permissions to certain directories and files to create profiles. These directories and files are the only ones in the installation root of IBM Integration Designer to which a non-administrator user needs to write to create profiles.
