RESPONSETIME SM2 monitoring programs
– The message "NOTE: CONNECTION NUMBER TOO LOW" will be issued in the SM2 output
report. Each of the RESPONSETIME screens (see description of the RESPONSETIME
report) will show the same message. The message is output only if no interactions were
recorded during the monitoring cycle in question.
– An indication to this effect will be given in the SM2 response record at the end of this
monitoring cycle.
– With SM2R1, the message SOME INTERACTIONS MISSED will be issued at the end
of the analysis. This message is output only if no interactions were recorded during the
analysis period in question.
The BUCKET parameters consists of a list of the maximum response, think, transaction and
wait times, arranged in order of magnitude. The ranges defined in the specified lists apply
to all connection sets specified in the ADD-CONNECTION-SET statement.
<integer 1 .. 99999> is an integer which defines the limit value. The number of limit values
in this list implicitly determines the number of ranges. This may vary from list to list, but five
limit values is the maximum. The last value in the list of ranges specifies the overflow limit.
All monitored variables that exceed this limit value are included under the last value, but are
not included in the calculation of mean values given in the RESPONSETIME report.
Connection-specific parameters
The SM2 administrator can monitor the response time both globally, i.e. for all possible
connections, and for specific individual connections, connection groups, or connection sets.
A connection is uniquely defined in the local the host by specifying the following objects:
– the name of an application
– the name of a partner
– the host name of the partner
– the type of connection
A connection group is understood as number of connections which are defined by speci-
fying the objects listed above. The objects may be specified using a fully qualified name
(name), a partially qualified name (name*), or an unqualified name (*ALL). For example,
($DIALOG,*ALL,*ALL) defines a connection group which includes the $DIALOG appli-
cation.
A connection set is understood as a combination of connection groups. It is defined by
specifying a list of up to five connection groups.
For example, (($DIALOG,*ALL,*ALL),(UTM1,*ALL,*ALL)) defines a connection set which
combines two connection groups with the $DIALOG and UTM1 applications.
