This test auto discovers the web services of the MSDynamics CRM2011 environment and reports the total requests and metadata requests received, the percentage of requests and metadata requests that failed. In addition, this test reports the number of render requests and the requests that failed to materialize. Using this test, administrators can easily assess the efficiency of the web service by analyzing the time spent by each web service in responding to requests in the environment as well as from the CRM components.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Specify the host for which this test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• 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.
