    Hello

    I am working on an upgrade from XenApp 6, to 7.15 LTSR.  We have many Cl10E devices, and I have finally just attempted to connect one of them to our new environment and it fails.  I get a solid grey screen that lasts for several minutes, ending with some messages in the event log on the Wyse device:

    ICA: pdu_recv: err code 0
    ICA: read error 0 from ica_frame_recv

    There is a similar post about this error on the Microsoft forums here: https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/390383-ica-protocol-changes-in-7141-compared-with-712/

    I have not tried the work around mentioned in that article, and I really would rather not do that.

    Is there a known fix with how these older Wyse terminals should be connecting to a newer XenApp farm?

    This is our WNOS.ini file that works with the older farm, with some names redacted and minus comments, and I changed the passwords etc.

    We are using StoreFront 3.9

    I have noticed that I get the same error if I connect using a reset Wyse terminal, using the “default ica” icon and just typing in the server name.

    Of course in my test I am just replacing the PnliteServer entry with the path to the test Storefront PNAgent xonfig.xml file, and the defined AutoConnectList value.

    On the XenApp side of things I do not see any sessions being created.

    I am going to continue testing but am wondering if this is just hopeless or if anyone has figured this out before?  I do not have Dell maintenance on these devices so I cannot upgrade them – I assume if I was able to then this would work? (can someone comment on that as well?)

     

    Thank you!

    Bruce

    Just an update – still no solution

    I do have some other newer Wyse terminals, a 3040 running 8.3_210 and a 5040 AIO running 8.4_110; and they both can connect to our new farm using the same WNOS.INI configuration that I am using for testing.

    PnliteServer=http://cgyxsfT01.mydomain.pvt/Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/config.xml ReconnectAtLogon=2 ReconnectFromButton=2 AutoConnectList=”XA715:Desktop Test” Timeout=”10″

    I have found evidence on the Storefront server that there is communication, as I see in the IIS logs entries like this:

    2018-01-31 22:01:51 10.129.34.75 GET /Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/config.xml – 80 – 10.228.65.223 WTOS/1.0 – 200 0 0 0
    2018-01-31 22:01:51 10.129.34.75 POST /Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/enum.aspx – 80 – 10.228.65.223 WTOS/1.0 – 200 0 0 297
    2018-01-31 22:01:52 10.129.34.75 POST /Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/enum.aspx – 80 – 10.228.65.223 WTOS/1.0 – 200 0 0 74
    2018-01-31 22:01:52 10.129.34.75 POST /Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/reconnect.aspx – 80 – 10.228.65.223 WTOS/1.0 – 200 0 0 49
    2018-01-31 22:01:54 10.129.34.75 POST /Citrix/TestWyse/PNAgent/launch.aspx – 80 – 10.228.65.223 WTOS/1.0 – 200 0 0 144

     

    and I see event log messages on the VDA like this:

    Event 1004, TdIca – The Citrix ICA Transport Driver has received a connect request from 10.228.65.223:4294
    Then about 2 minutes later:
    Event 1004, TdIca – The Citrix ICA Transport Driver connection from 10.228.65.223:4295 has been closed.

    and then sometimes I also see these two errors right after (seems this happens when I toggle SessionReliability=yes)

    Event 1004, TdIca – The Citrix ICA Transport Driver connection from 10.228.65.223:4296 to port 2598 4 was unexpetently closed during it’s SSL handshake phase.
    Event 1004, TdIca – The Citrix ICA Transport Driver connection from 10.228.65.223:4296 has been closed.

    The Wyse terminal ends up in a really weird state, with a mac address of all zero’s after a few tests.  Powering off and on gets the mac address back.

    Another update – I have confirmed now that I can get this working if I use the 7.13 VDA.  I also tried 7.14, and that has the same issue.

    Does anyone know if there is a definite support issue with this older version of ThinOS and 7.14/7.15 and there is nothing I can do about it without replacing the devices or using 7.13 instead?  What if I had been more diligent and kept these on maintenance and upgraded them?

    Thank you,
    Bruce

    This really looks like a compatibility issue with newer XA version and the old ThinOS version.
    The latest available firmware for C10LE is 8.3_109.
    You could contact Dell and ask for a price for the update.
