Managing an Image Task

Scenarios

After creating an image task and generating an image, the administrator can update the application in the image task, change the image task name, and delete the image task.

Prerequisites

An image task has been created.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console of Workspace Application Streaming as an administrator.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Applications and Images > Image Creation.
3. Perform the operations listed in Table 1 as required.

   Table 1 Operations on an image task

   Operation	Procedure	Description
   Updating an application pending installation on the server	Click Generate Image in the Operation column. Select the updated application in the application repository and click Synchronize Link. Click Next: Install Application. Log in to the APS and install the application. You can copy an application from the local host to the APS for installation using a policy, or download an application from the browser over Internet.	During application publishing, if the verification fails, update the application to check whether the application is faulty.
   Viewing an image	In the task list, click an image ID to go to the details page. View the images generated by the image task.	Images can be viewed after they are generated by the task.
   Viewing all images	Click View All Images in the upper left of the image task list, or go to the Image Management Service (IMS) to view all your images on the Private Images tab page.	All images created by an administrator are private images and are displayed in the private image list in IMS.
   Viewing resources associated with an image	In the Operation column, choose More > Associate Resource > Server Groups. In the Operation column, choose More > Associate Resource > Application Groups.	Administrators can view the server group and application group automatically generated by the image task to facilitate management.
   Changing the name of an image task	In the Operation column, choose More > Edit. Modify the task name and description. Click OK.	If the name of an image task is misleading, the administrator can rename it.
   Deleting an image task	In the Operation column, choose More > Delete. (Optional) Delete the resources (server group and its servers, and application group) associated with the task. NOTE: If you do not select Delete the resources (server group and its servers, and application group) associated with the task, the server group and application group created using the image task are still available. Click OK.	If an image has been generated using an image task, you can delete the task to release the image creation server resources to save costs.
