What is the technical definition of an AppFabric Service Bus Connection? What actions will trigger a new Connection to be counted?
Service Bus Connections are opened against a Service Bus endpoint (a URI in a Service Bus domain) and become billable once an application performs one of the following actions: • Opens a Service on a Service Bus Endpoint1 • Opens a Client Channel2 that connects to such a service1 • Creates or maintains a message buffer that listens on a Service Bus Endpoint1 • Makes an HTTP request to a message buffer or to any Service opened on a Service Bus Endpoint.3 1: billable until closed, deleted, or expired, as appropriate 2: includes NetOnewayRelay, NetEventRelay and NetTcpRelay 3: includes retrieval (Retrieve, Peeklock, Delete, Unlock) and insertion (Enqueue). The first request to retrieve a message from an existing message buffer is free. For billing purposes, Connections are measured and recorded in 5-minute intervals. The average number of open Connections during each interval is recorded. We do this to protect customers against undue charges for brief increases in open Connections. Theref
