Virtual Application Image Pane

The Virtual Application Image pane displays the contents of the selected virtual application image definition.

A virtual application image typically includes one or more virtual applications stored inside a file, possibly with a set of supporting metadata files. A virtual application image definition, on the other hand, describes the "footprint" for discovering such a virtual application image.

To discover the virtual applications included in an image, one or more regular software signatures related to the included applications must be associated manually with the relevant virtual application image definition.

Associating regular software signatures with a virtual application image definition is finalized by sealing it. This enables the DSM manager to display the applications that are included in the discovered virtual application image as discovered as well.

In the case of sealed virtual application image definitions, the Virtual Application Image pane also displays the Discovered Installations folder containing any computers on which the selected virtual application image has been detected. The corresponding pane displays the name of the asset, platform, installation type, and the date of the last agent execution.
