View Transfer Events

A View Transfer Server is a software service that manages and streamlines data transfers between the datacenter and View desktops that are checked out for use on end users' local systems. Periodic analysis of the events related to this service in the events database, will provide early warnings of transfer issues.  

This test reports the number and details of transfer events recorded in the events database.
