Configuration of CtxCdXDHAXmlTest

The Citrix XML service is responsible for communications between the Web Interface component and the XenDesktop site. The XML Service authenticates users, provides a list of available virtual desktops, and generates the information to allow the end-point to make a connection to the virtual desktop. To understand the load handled by the XML service, proactively determine probable delays in the delivery of the XML service, and to isolate the exact XML transaction that is causing the slowdown, you can use this test.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is 443.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
