Measures reported by WCFEndPntTest

The Windows Communication Foundation (or WCF) is an application programming interface (API) in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications.

WCF is designed in accordance with service oriented architecture principles to support distributed computing where services are consumed by consumers. Clients can consume multiple services and services can be consumed by multiple clients. Services are loosely coupled to each other. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) which any WCF client can use to consume the service, irrespective of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging and WS-Security.

A WCF client connects to a WCF service via an Endpoint. Each service exposes its contract via one or more endpoints. An endpoint has an address, which is a URL specifying where the endpoint can be accessed, and binding properties that specify how the data will be transferred.

This test reports whether all the WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) endpoints are available to the Desktop Delivery Controller (DDC) so that the DDC communicates with the endpoints and launches the respective functionality.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Connect Indicates whether the DDC is able to connect to the endpoints.   This measure reports either Ok or Error as the status while indicating the connectivity status of the DDC with the endpoints. The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned states are as follows:

State Numeric Value
Ok 1
Error 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned states while indicating the connectivity status of the DDC with the endpoints. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the states as mentioned in the table above.
Service Indicates whether the DDC is able to receive the services provided by the endpoints.   This measure reports either Ok or Error while indicating whether the DDC is able to receive the services of the endpoints. The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned states are as follows:

State Numeric Value
Ok 1
Error 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned states while indicating whether the DDC is able to receive the services of the endpoints. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the states as mentioned in the table above.
