commands. (Do this after defining transactions and modules in application rule
sets and after discovering response paths in eHealth.) For details, refer to the
command usage descriptions, or enter the following in the address field of
your Web browser, where ehealth is the eHealth Web server name:

About Servers
When installed, Application Response defines default servers and uses them to
track network and server time for default and custom applications. The server
name appears in the response path in reports. When a default server is used,
that default server name appears in the response path.
If you want a more specific server name to appear in the path on reports
(such as "Exchange1" instead of "Default-Exchange"), or if an application uses
multiple servers and you want to be able to track response time for each
server individually, then you must define servers. To define servers in BT
Studio, use the Connection Manager or another configuration method. To
define servers in Application Response, use Server Discovery or define them
manually using the eHealth Web interface.
Citrix Servers
Application Response provides a default server definition for a Citrix server (or
a terminal server). If you are using Application Response to monitor the
performance of a Citrix- published application, Application Response uses the
Citrix server definition to obtain network times between the client system and
the Citrix server. Another default server definition helps to capture network
times between the Citrix server and the application server. You do not need to
define and attach Citrix servers to an application definition for a Citrix-
published application. (You can, however, define the application servers to
obtain server-specific response time information.)
About Alternate Rule Sets
Sometimes you may want to monitor an application using two different rule
sets simultaneously. For example, Application Response can monitor average
application response time and at the same time monitor the response times of
specific, mission- critical transactions. Application Response uses the response
times of all transactions to calculate an average application response time; it
also monitors the mission-critical transactions to calculate transaction-specific
response times.
You can use BT Studio to define a primary rule set and an alternate rule set.
Application Response analyzes all application activity against both rule sets,
