Further, Alces is also a very useful tool for JDF Interface developers of JDF Devices. In this case the application plays the role of a Manager and helps to test the JDF compliance of your device. Alces is available in two flavours: one for interactive and manual testing and one for automated testing.
To test a JDF connection enter the URL of the worker system and click the "Discover" button. Alces will then run a JDF bootstrap and check for known devices, known messages and known subscriptions with the request and response of each query displayed to assist with understanding the JMF messaging process. All known devices will populate into a drop list in the left hand menu with queue entries for a device displayed in the lower right hand pane.
