This procedure describes how to enable copy and paste text between an application running in an Oracle Virtual Desktop Client session and an application running on the local desktop. When enabled, Oracle Virtual Desktop Client users can copy and paste text between an application running in an Oracle Virtual Desktop Client session and an application running on the local desktop. Copying and pasting Unicode characters is supported.
For the copy and paste functionality to work, the clipboard service must be enabled on the Sun Ray server and clipboard sharing must be enabled on the Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients. You can use the utdevadm command or the Advanced->Security page on the Admin GUI to check if the clipboard service is enabled.
This feature is not available on Sun Ray servers running Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions.
