Measures reported by BTSoapSenTest

The SOAP send adapter is used to call a web service. The SOAP send adapter reads the message context on the BizTalk Message object to get the proxy name and calls the associated external Web service proxy.

This test monitors the load on the SOAP send adapter and proactively alerts processing bottlenecks in the adapter.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Messagessent Indicates the total number of messages that are sent by the SOAP send adapter on this host instance. Number The counter is incremented only for messages that have reached the destination URL.
MessagessentSec Indicates the rate at which the messages are sent by the SOAP send adapter on this host instance. Msgs/Sec The counter applies only to messages that have reached the destination URL.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A consistent decrease in this value indicates that the SOAP send adapter is experiencing delays while writing messages to the destination URL. Further investigation may be required to diagnose the root-cause of the slowdown.
