Measures reported by CtxNsIsIcaAppTest

How much time an application takes to be launched via ICA affects not just the user experience with that application, but also user productivity, as key business transactions may be delayed if business-critical applications launch slowly. It is hence good practice to peridocially run the CtxNsIsIcaAppTest test and check on the launch time of individual applications.

This test auto-discovers applications that are operating on XenApp, reports the number of instances of each application that have been launched currently, and the time every application took to launch; this way, the test sheds light on slow-launching applications. Using the detailed diagnosis of this test, you can also figure out how many sessions have been impacted by such applications and how bad the impact is.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Applicaion_launch_count Indicates the number of instances of this application that are currently launched. Number Compare the value of this measure across applications to identify the most popular application.

Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know in how many sessions this application was launched, the average launch time of the application, and the average duration of the sessions.

Session_launch_count Indicates the number of sessions in which this application was launched. Number  
Launch_duration Indicates the average time it took to launch this application. Msecs A high value for this measure indicates that the application is slow in launching.

You may want to compare the value of this measure across applications to isolate the slowest application.
