Measures reported by XDVDApplicationTest

With XenDesktop Broker - 5, you provide users with access to information by publishing the following types of resources that can be virtualized on servers or desktops:

  • Applications installed on servers running XenDesktop Broker - 5. When users access them, the published applications appear to be running locally on client devices.
  • Streamed applications installed in application profiles and stored on a file server in your App Hub. Users access the profile and virtualize the applications on their client desktops.
  • Data files such as Web pages, documents, media files, spreadsheets, and URLs. In XenApp, the combined total of data types you publish is referred to as content.
  • The server desktops, so users can access all of the resources available on the server.

All these types of resources are published using a Publish Application wizard in the XenDesktop Broker -5 console. Such resources that are launched in the XenDesktop Broker - 5 are called as Published applications.

This test reports the total number of sessions in which, a user has accessed the published applications that are running on desktops. Only those published applications that are launched from a Citrix client are monitored. If a user launches an application from within a virtual desktop session then it will not show up in the list of running applications. Also note that this is a list of launched published applications, not a list of processes that are running on the desktop.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:
