A rule set is a group of rules used to monitor a particular application. Use BT
Studio to develop a rule set for each application for which you want to monitor
transaction response time.
Module Sets and the Application Hierarchy
In addition to monitoring average application response time and individual
transaction response time, you can configure Application Response to monitor
response time for a group of related transactions, called a module set. In
reports, Application Response can summarize response times by application or
by individual transaction (module). Some reports (such as the Service
Summary report) also allow you to summarize response times by module set.
For example, suppose that you use SAP for sales, purchasing, and shipping,
and different groups of people perform each set of functions. In addition to
reporting on the response times of individual transactions, you also want to be
able to report on the response times of sales transactions, purchasing
transactions, and shipping transactions. With the use of module sets, you can
create a 3-tier hierarchy for reporting (an application hierarchy), similar to the
following:
Application Hierarchy Sample Application
application1
moduleSetA
moduleU
moduleV
moduleSetB
moduleW
moduleX
moduleSetC
moduleY
moduleZ
application2
SAP
SAP-Purchasing
SAP-CreatePO
SAP-UpdatePO
SAP-Sales
SAP-Invoice
SAP-Quote
SAP-Shipping
SAP- Labels
SAP- Pack
Web
When you run Service Level reports, you can see this application hierarchy and
specify the level at which you want to report. To create module sets and define
the application hierarchy, use the nhAddAppType and nhModifyAppType
