Measures reported by XDMPackagesTest

Packages are compilations of previously created resources, prepared into configurations for the various user groups. Packages include the following:

  • A package name
  • Groups of users
  • Resources, which, depending on the operating device, are a combination of the following:

    • A server group
    • App tunnels
    • Registry configurations
    • XML configurations
    • Software inventory
    • Applications
    • Files
  • Deployment schedule
  • Deployment rules

Packages can be remotely deployed to a mobile device from the Deployment tab in the web console. Connected devices receive the package as soon as scheduling rules are met. Reconnecting devices receive the package as they reconnect subject to other rule criteria. If these packages are not deployed on mobile devices, critical configurations may not be pushed to the devices, thus compounding management problems. This is why, administrators should continuously track the status of these deployments, so that failures can be detected quickly and packages still to be deployed can be identified. This is where the XDMPackagesTest test helps.

This test auto-discovers the packages compiled on the MDM server, tracks the status of each package deployment, and reports the count and details of successful, failed, and pending deployments per package.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
noTarget Indicates the number of deployments of this package that are tagged with the ‘Not Applicable’ statuss. Number  
NotDone Indicates the number of deployments still pending for this package. Number A consistent increase in the value of this measure is a cause for concern, as it could indicate a bottleneck in package deployment that could be slowing down the deployment process.
success Indicates the number of successful deployments of this package. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the details of successful deployments.
failure Indicates the number of failed deployments of this package. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the details of failed deployments.
