    Hello All,

    I have an app sequenced in App-V that runs without issue, but the sequence does not terminate when the application is closed.  It has an internal Java and javaw.exe keeps running after closing the application and the application remains In Use.  I set TERMINATECHILDREN = TRUE in the OSD which usually resolves this sort of thing, but not this time.  Javaw.exe keeps running after the app is closed and the application will only return to Idle state if I do an End Process on javaw.exe..

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Regards, Balendra Tiwari

    Hello,

    Has the main-process terminated? Isn't it possible that javaw.exe is the main process?

    you may write a 'wrapper' that terminates javaw (if that isn't the main process, as Nicke asked) shortly after the app itself has been closed.

    @echo off
app1.exe
taskkill /im jawaw.exe

    Indeed this is a little rough, as it also would kill other javaw instances of that user

    Hi,

    Supoose main process is "ABC.exe" and that is also using "Javaw.exe" , so when i close app, main process terminated, but "Javaw.exe" keep running in system.

    Hi,

    Yes ,,,as it would kill other "Javaw.exe", hence can't be used. Is there any other workaround? or  we can not create App-v package for same?

    You could create a more fancy wrapper that

    1. collects all PIDs for 'javaw.exe' processes,
    2. launches the application
    3. collectes all the PIDs for javaw.exe again
    4. uses the difference in colections to determin the PID of the 'right'  javaw.exe (or - even more fancy - identify the 'right' javaw based on the processe's properties, like command line
    5. taskkill based on the PID

    You'd have to use the wrapper as the 'filename' attribute in the OSD file, because otherwise App-V doesn't know when the package can be closed (and this is your problem already).

    Anyway you can do that in a copied version of the OSD file, if that is allowed on the client
