To enable the test, go to the enable / disable tests page using the menu sequence : Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable, pick COM+ as the desired Component type, set Performance as the Test type, choose the test from the disabled tests list, and click on the < button to move the test to the ENABLED TESTS list. Finally, click the Update button.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Restart	If the Restart option is set to Yes, then the test will attempt to restart the applications that have stopped. Setting this flag to No will ensure that no such attempts are made by the test.
ExcludeApps	Provide a comma-separated list of COM+ applications that the test need not restart even if found not running. By default, this is set to No, indicating that, if the Restart option is set to Yes, then, by default, the test will attempt to restart all the discovered COM+ applications
Rediscover	Indicate how frequently the test needs to rediscover the COM+ applications. For example, specifying the value 2 here indicates that rediscovery will occur every second time this test runs. Accordingly, if the Test Period chosen is 30 seconds, then rediscovery will take place every 60 (30*2) seconds.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Availability	Whether the ComPlus application is running or not.	Number	The value 100 indicates that the application is running or has been successfully restarted. The value 0 indicates that the application restart has failed.
