Trying to start a published app from within another published app

[aw9009001]

How can I call a published application from within another published application? I am running TOAD (DBA Software) which can start SQLPlus (Oracle software) from within. From within TOAD calling the SQLPlus we get an Access Denied meassage. If I do the same thing from the Desktop it works fine. In TOAD there is a parameter that points to the executable for SQLPlus. Do I just need to point this to the published app in Citrix and how do I do that?

Both application should be published, and if the SQLplus is a specific part of a program, the location should be like this.
C:\Oracle\Ora81\bin\launch.exe SpecificStartupdir.xxx

Maybe a stupid question but although you can do it, is there a reason you need to get the published app to run another published app? Otherwise, the first app should be able to launch the second app same way as it does on a published desktop.

For example, assuming you haven't locked the server down, publish something like "notepad.exe", then run that published app and then do a file/open and find something like - for example - c:\windows\system32\winmine.exe and (from within the notepad file open dialog box) right click on it and choose "open" - it should spawn minesweeper.

Sometimes there can be confusion when (say) the published app is anonymous whilst the desktop is authenticated which is why it works in one but not the other because of authentication/security issues...... there is also a bug I recall in one version of Metaframe where a spawned app wouldn't appear, but there's a patch available for that from support.citrix.com and anyhow it doesn't sound like you're seeing that.
