Edit, Delete, or Duplicate a Linux Application Pool

You can manage application pools by editing the pool settings. You can also delete or create a duplicate of an application pool.

Edit an Application Pool

You can edit an existing application pool to configure settings such as display name, version, publisher, path, start folder, parameters, and description. You cannot change the ID or access group of an application pool.

1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Applications.
2. Select a pool and click Edit.
3. Make changes to the pool settings.
4. Click OK.

Delete an Application Pool

When you delete an application pool, users can no longer launch the application in the pool.

You can delete an application pool even if users are currently accessing the application. After the users close the application, they can no longer access the application.

1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Applications.
2. Select one or more application pools and click Delete.
3. Click OK to confirm.

Duplicate an Application Pool

You can duplicate an application pool to create multiple applications that are similar to each other.

When you duplicate an application pool, you can change the application pool ID and description to create a new application pool.

Note: If there is an icon for the original application pool, the icon does not get associated with the duplicate application pool. However, you can assign the original icon to the duplicate application pool.

Note: If there are user entitlements for the original application pool, the duplicate application pool does not get these entitlements and you must entitle users to the duplicate application pool again.

1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Applications.
2. Select an application pools and click Duplicate.
3. (Optional) Enter a display name and a description.
4. Click OK.
