This test reports how efficient the file receive adapter on each host instance is. The test monitors the inflow of messages to the file receive adapter, measures the load on the adapter, and reveals how well the adapter handled the load; lock failures encountered by the adapter while attempting to read files are also revealed by this test, so that reasons for the same can be diagnosed.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the BTFileRecTest.

• 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 name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the specified host listens in the PORT text box.

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to YES, then it means that, by default, all BizTalk servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a BizTalk cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the servers are not up.

• 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.
