Subject

Upgrading from Citrix WinFrame v.1.7 to Citrix MetaFrame v.1.8

Purpose

To provide information about the software upgrade

Affected Employees 

Payroll users who connect to the PaySR applications through Citrix

Effective Date

July 3, 2000

Background Information

Citrix is the software used to manage the electronic connections between the end users and the payroll system applications. Most Citrix activity is done "behind the scenes". The visible part of the Citrix connection is the initial login screen where users enter their userid and password to connect to the payroll system group.

Reason for the Upgrade

This is one part of OSCs plan to upgrade the OSC payroll applications to a newer release of the PeopleSoft software.

OSC Actions

OSC will install the new Citrix application on its servers. The initial login screen will display the logo for the MetaFrame Citrix software.

Agency Actions for Users

No agency actions are required. This upgrade does not require any workstation modifications.

Logging Off PaySR

PaySR Logoff Icon

Remember to double click the PaySR logoff icon to close the application. This ensures that the Citrix connection and all associated programs close completely. Avoid using the close button (X) in the right corner of the PaySR title bar to close the application.
