Measures reported by BTFTPSenTest

The FTP send adapter enables you to move data from BizTalk Server to an FTP server.

Key features of the FTP send adapter are:

  • Ability to run sends on demand
  • Guaranteed delivery

This test measures the current load on the FTP send adapter for each host instance of the BizTalk server, and isolate bottlenecks in load processing.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Bytessent Indicates the total number of bytes sent by the FTP send adapter on this host instance. Bytes The counter is incremented only for messages that have been written to the destination FTP server.

BytessentSec Indicates the rate at which the bytes are sent by the FTP send adapter on this host instance. Bytes/Sec The counter applies only to messages that have been written to the destination FTP server.
Messagessent Indicates the total number of messages sent by the FTP send adapter on this host instance. Number The counter is incremented only for messages that have been written to the destination FTP server.
MessagessentSec Indicates the rate at which the messages are sent by the FTP send adapter on this host instance. Msgs/sec The counter applies only to messages that have been written to destination FTP server.

Ideally, a value of this measure should be high. A low value indicates that the FTP send adapter is experiencing delays while writing files to the destination FTP server. Further investigation may be required to diagnose the root-cause of the slowdown.
