When users add applications in Citrix Receiver StoreFront ensures these applications written follow from device to device , providing a consistent roaming experience. Previous versions of StoreFront used a Microsoft SQL Server database to store details of applications the user subscriptions. StoreFront 2.0, however, does not require a separate external database, which makes it much easier for you to deploy and support.
Subscription Service In Store
In StoreFront 2.0, the subscription data to a user application are automatically stored locally and spread to other StoreFront server in the group by the service store subscription. The service provides replication, persistent storage for app subscriptions without the cost and complexity of an external database. The magazine subscription service is created and configured for you automatically when you install StoreFront and requires no administration.
StoreFront uses Extensible Storage Engine Windows, the technology that Microsoft Access and Microsoft Exchange authorities to create a set of data store that saves and subscription data index of the application. These data are contained in the server group on a peer-to-peer basis. This removes the subscription database application as a single point of failure in a deployment and makes StoreFront more resistant to temporary loss of communication within a server group. Because the data store is automatically replicated to all servers in a deployment StoreFront, you do not need to make special arrangements to save. Well, you can export the application subscription data from the data store if you want to make your own external backups.
Sync application subscriptions across groups of servers
If your users can access the same applications in the same stores in different groups of StoreFront server, you might want to synchronize subscriptions applications between stores in different deployments. For example, if you have deployed separate StoreFront serving offices in America and Europe, the same stores in each server group maintain separate data store Application subscription. Thus, a US user visits the office and forestry in Europe in the European bank for the first time would have to resubscribe to the applications they had subscribed in the American store. You can provide a seamless experience to the mobile users by synchronizing app subscriptions between American and European stores.
In previous versions of StoreFront, app subscriptions user synchronization between server groups may be difficult, as it involved replicating SQL Server databases. But with StoreFront 2.0, the magazine subscription service makes it much easier. Simply configure periodic synchronization subscriptions to applications between stores within a set time; at midnight every day or every 12 hours, for example. More information on the configuration of the subscription synchronization between an application server groups StoreFront is available on eDocs.
Upgrading to 2.0 StoreFront and lose the database
If you use an older version of StoreFront, you're probably now asking what will happen to the existing applications of all subscriptions your users when you upgrade. Well, the upgrade process StoreFront 2.0 includes a mechanism to transfer subscriptions to existing applications from the SQL Server database to store the subscription service. Once you have updated all StoreFront server in your server group, you can migrate the subscription data of the application users for individual stores or for all stores in a deployment with a single click in the Citrix StoreFront management console. More information on the upgrade is available on eDocs.
By removing the dependency on SQL Server in StoreFront 2.0, we have simplified your experience administering and improving the resilience capacity adding that also allow you to provide a seamless roaming experience for your users. So why not update your StoreFront or Web interface to existing deployment Storefront 2.0? It is a perfect time to make the transition to the cloud era!
