How To Enable Persistent Bitmap Caching in an ICA File

Synopsis:
The following document explains how to enable persistent bitmap caching in an ICA file as well as the new Program Neighborhood client.

Details:

Enabling bitmap caching in the new Program Neighborhood client is easy:

1. Check Use disk cache for bitmaps in the properties of the Server Farm or Custom ICA connection entry.



2. Select Tools, Settings, Bitmap Cache and configure the specifications of bitmap caching.



Though persistent bitmap caching is supported in an ICA file, it is not done automatically. To enable bitmap caching in an ICA file for a published application, add the following lines to the [WFClient] section of the ICA file:

PersistentCacheEnabled=On
PersistentCacheSize=42935633
PersistentCacheMinBitmap=8192
PersistentCachePath=M:\WTSRV\Profiles\<username>\Application Data\ICAClient\Cache

In the section for the application (for example, [MS Word]) add the following line:

PersistentCacheEnabled=On

Here is an example of an ICA file for Microsoft Word:

[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=10.3.10.1
TcpBrowserAddress2=10.3.10.8
IpxBrowserAddress=0:006097D8D09F
IpxBrowserAddress2=FF:00C04F4C5C21
NetBiosBrowserAddress=CITRIX1
NetBiosBrowserAddress2=CITRIX2
PersistentCacheEnabled=On
PersistentCacheSize=42935633
PersistentCacheMinBitmap=8192
PersistentCachePath=N:\WTSRV\Profiles\Administrator\Application Data\ICAClient\Cache

[ApplicationServers]
MS Word=

[MS Word]
Address=MS Word
InitialProgram=#MS Word
DesiredHRES=640
DesiredVRES=480
DesiredColor=2
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0
PersistentCacheEnabled=On

You can disable bitmap caching by changing the following in the section:

PersistentCacheEnabled=Off

This takes precedence over the value set in the [WFClient] section if the two values are different. If necessary, you can change the values for PersistentCachePath, PersistentCacheSize, and PersistentCacheMinBitmap.
