Use

This function contains an overview of the completed requests of a portal server in the cluster that had the greatest effect on performance.

A request can consist of a number of components and subcomponents. The requests are listed in the overview with their names. By clicking on this name you get detailed information about all the components involved and their hierarchy within the request.

The names of the components are defined according to the following convention:

<solution>:<component>:<localization>

<solution>:<component>:<details>    (for actions)

Example

Component name EP:UM:getUser
indicates that the action„get user data“ was executed when component User Management logged onto the portal.

For greater readability, the request and component names are displayed in abbreviated form. The full names are shown in the Quick Info text. If you click on a table cell with the request or component name, the full name is displayed in the lower part of the iView.

Features

The following request data is displayed:

      Starting Time / Starting Date

      Request Name

      User ID
ID of the user who started this request

      Outgoing Data [byte]

      Time
Time needed for processing in the corresponding backend system

      CPU Time
CPU time needed for processing in the corresponding backend system

      Component Entries
Number of components in this request. Components that are used more than once are counted more than once.

      Component with the Largest Net Time
The „slowest“ component. The net time of a component is the gross time of the component less the gross time of their subcomponents.

      Largest Net Time
Time for the component with the longest net time

      Component with Largest Net CPU Time
The “slowest“ component. The net CPU time of a component is the gross CPU time of the component less the gross CPU time of their subcomponents

      Net CPU Time
Net CPU time for the component [msec]

Note

A value of 0 bytes for the amount of outbound data means that no data was transferred.
A value of n/a indicates that it is not possible to specify a value.

Activities

Selecting a Portal Server

In the Select Serverdropdown list, select the portal server in the cluster and choose Display.

      Component Name
Name of the main component or subcomponent

      Gross Time of Component
Total time for component (including time for all subcomponents involved)

      Gross CPU Time
Gross CPU time for the component [msec]

      Net Time of Component
computed from gross time less the gross time of the subcomponents

      Net CPU Time
Net CPU time for the component [msec]

      Starting Time / Starting Date

      Nesting Level
Nesting level of 0 corresponds to the main component, nesting level of 1 means that this component was called by the main component, etc.

To return to the previous display variant, choose Display or define new sorting and/or filter criteria.
