Citrix window synchronization counters

Citrix window synchronization counters provide information about window synchronizations that were attempted, completed, or produced a timeout within the specified timeout limit. Window synchronization is the mechanism used by the test to compare windows from the test with actual windows in the run.

Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for several web service message returns are combined into a single value; others produce values for each web service message return.
  • Aggregate counters use the values for all the elements in a test to produce a single value for a report. This value is rolled up from all values that satisfy the counter. When you drag an aggregate counter onto a report, one value is displayed. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on the folder icon: folder icon with a clock superimposed. In the tables that follow, the aggregate counters are listed after the titles that contain this icon.

  • Individual counters produce values for each item that satisfies the counter, rather than an aggregate value. Folders that contain individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on the folder icon: folder icon with an asterisk superimposed. In the tables that follow, the individual counters are listed after the titles that contain this icon.

Some counters pertain to intervals in the run. You set the Statistics sample interval value in the schedule, as a schedule property.

The counters in the following table provide an aggregate value for all window synchronizations. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on them: folder icon with a clock superimposed.

Counter name Description
Count [for Interval] The total number of window synchronizations that were attempted within the last recorded interval
Count [for Run] The total number of window synchronizations that were attempted in the entire run

The counters in the following table provide an aggregate value for all window synchronizations. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on them: folder icon with a clock superimposed.

Citrix Window Synchronizations> Citrix Window Synchronization Successes
