Description

Returns the file type associations the system imports from worker machines.

File type association associates a file extension (such as “.txt”) with an application (such as Notepad). In a Citrix environment file type associations on a user device can be configured so that when an user clicks on a document it launches the appropriate published application. This is known as “content redirection”.

Imported file type associations are different from configured file type associations. Imported file type associations are lists of known file type associations for a given desktop group. Configured file type associations are those that are actually associated with published applications for the purposes of content redirection.

Initially the system is not aware of any extensions, and they must be imported by the Citrix administrator. See the Update-BrokerImportedFTA cmdlet for more information.

After file type extensions are imported, this cmdlet lets the administrator review which file type associations the system is aware of. ImportedFTA objects are also used when configuring content redirection. See the New-BrokerConfiguredFTA cmdlet for more information.

The imported file type associations are grouped according to the desktop group to which they belong, because the system expects all machines in the same desktop group to have the same file type associations. That may not be true, however, across desktop groups.

Note that the ImportedFTA object has several fields that are not currently used. Only those fields that are shared with the ConfiguredFTA object are actually used in some capacity.

————————– BrokerImportedFTA Object

The BrokerImportedFTA object represents a file type association imported from worker machines. It contains the following properties:

  • ContentType (System.String)

    Content type of the file, such as “text/plain” or “application/vnd.ms-excel”.

  • Description (System.String)

    File type description, such as “Test Document”, “Microsoft Word Text Document”, etc.

  • DesktopGroupUid (System.Int32)

    The desktop group this file type belongs to.

  • Edit (System.String)

    Edit command with full path to executable: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE” /n /dde

  • EditArguments (System.String)

    The arguments used for the ‘edit’ action on files of this type. These are extracted from the full edit command, and may be empty.

  • EditExecutableName (System.String)

    The executable name extracted from the Edit property, no path included. This is used for matching with published apps’ executable when searching for the list of extensions an application is capable of handling.

  • ExtensionName (System.String)

    A single file extension, such as .txt. Unique within the scope of a desktop group.

  • HandlerName (System.String)

    File type handler name, e.g. “Word.Document.8” or TXTFILE.

  • Open (System.String)

    Open command with full path to executable: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE” /n /dde

  • OpenArguments (System.String)

    The arguments used for the ‘open’ action on files of this type. These are extracted from the full open command, and may be empty.

  • OpenExecutableName (System.String)

    The executable name extracted from the Open property, no path included. This is used for matching with published apps’ executable when searching for the list of extensions an application is capable of handling.

  • PerceivedType (System.String)

    Perceived type, such as “text”.

  • Print (System.String)

    Print command: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE” /x /n /dde

  • PrintTo (System.String)

    PrintTo command: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE” /n /dde

  • Uid (System.Int32)

    Unique internal identifier of imported file type association.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Invoking this cmdlet with no arguments simply returns

all of the imported file type association objects. By default, only

the first 250 objects are returned. See the -MaxRecordCount and

-Skip parameters for information about modifying this.

Get-BrokerImportedFTA
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Retrieves all imported file type associations that have

the extension “.txt”. Note that because imported file type associations

are per-desktop group, multiple instances may be returned.

Get-BrokerImportedFTA -ExtensionName ".txt"
