Visualizing transaction performance

The statistical analysis views provide a way to visualize transaction performance. You can use the views to do analysis on transaction and transaction class statistics. The views can be activated from statistical data in the sheet views, and the specific alerts: Maximum active transaction in transaction class reached (XMCDS), Maximum tasks reached (XMGDS), and Transaction storage violations (XMRDS).

Open the statistical analysis views in one of two ways: Right-click on one of the specific alerts in the Alerts view and click Open. Alternatively, right-click a record in the sheet view and click Open. The statistical analysis views show the statistic details for the APPLID at that interval time, and a few intervals before and after, if the records are available.

Note: The analysis view is shown only when the selected record has a transaction class in the transaction class table, and the transaction class has some transactions that are defined against it in the transactions table. If these conditions are not met, the view is not shown, and the message No data available is shown in the status bar.

There are three types of analysis views:

XMC TRANCLASS

The XMC TRANCLASS resources view shows the XMC tranclass resource statistics for the selected APPLID. A screen capture of the XMC TRANCLASS resources view that shows the graphical area, the transaction class details for the selected interval, and a table that lists the transactions in the class.

There are three areas in the view: The chart area, the data area, and the transactions area.
The chart area
The chart provides a graphical representation of the current active, peak active, and maximum active tasks over a number of intervals. If they are available, the chart shows a maximum of 12 intervals: six before and five after the selected interval. Each interval is shown as a separate column in the chart, and the time, interval number, and number of times at "Max active" is shown. The points on the chart are indicative rather than actual values. As you hover over a column, a tooltip shows the actual values for that interval.
The data area
The data area shows specific statistical information about the tasks during the selected interval. The selected interval is shown on the chart as a shaded column. You can click the columns to change the interval selection. Four of the values in the data area are color-coded to match the colors of values on the chart. You can change the colors by clicking the Configure chart colors hyperlink, and selecting Interval traces in the Chart Colors preferences window. The APPLID hyperlink shows the XMG Transaction global statistics information for the APPLID.
The transactions area
The "Transactions in class" table shows a list of the transaction IDs, and the number of attaches for each transaction during the selected interval. The list is ordered by the number of attaches, with the highest number shown at the top of the list. Each transaction ID is a hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink opens the XMR Transaction resource view to show more details for that transaction ID during the selected interval.

XMG Transaction global

The XMG Transaction global view shows the XMG transaction global statistics for the selected APPLID. A screen capture of the XMG transaction global view that shows the graphical area and the transaction details for the selected interval.

There are two areas in the view: The chart area and the data area.
The chart area
The chart provides a graphical representation of the current active and peak active user transactions and the maximum active tasks, over a number of intervals. If they are available, the chart shows a maximum of 12 intervals: six before and five after the selected interval. Each interval is shown as a separate column in the chart, and the time, interval number, and number of times at MAXTASK is shown. The points on the chart are indicative rather than actual values. As you hover over a column, a tooltip shows the actual values for that interval.
The data area
The data area shows specific statistical information about the transactions during the selected interval. The selected interval is shown on the chart as a shaded column. You can click the columns to change the interval selection. Four of the values in the data area are color-coded to match the colors of values on the chart. You can change the colors by clicking the Configure chart colors hyperlink, and selecting Interval traces in the Chart Colors preferences window.

XMR TRANSACTION

The XMR TRANSACTION resources view shows the XMR TRANSACTION resource statistics for the selected TRANSACTION in the APPLID. A screen capture of the XMR TRANSACTION resources view that shows the graphical area and the TRANSACTION details for the selected interval.

There are two areas in the view: The chart area and the data area.
The chart area
The chart provides a graphical representation of the current active and peak active user transactions and the maximum active tasks, over a number of intervals. If they are available, the chart shows a maximum of 12 intervals: six before and five after the selected interval. Each interval is shown as a separate column in the chart, and the time, interval number, and number of times at MAXTASK is shown. The points on the chart are indicative rather than actual values. As you hover over a column, a tooltip shows the actual values for that interval.
The data area
The data area shows specific statistical information about the transactions during the selected interval. The selected interval is shown on the chart as a shaded column. You can click the columns to change the interval selection. Four of the values in the data area are color-coded to match the colors of values on the chart. You can change the colors by clicking the Configure chart colors hyperlink, and selecting Interval traces in the Chart Colors preferences window. The APPLID hyperlink shows the XMG Transaction global statistics information for the APPLID. The Transaction ID hyperlink shows the performance breakdown summary records for this transaction around the time of the interval. The Transaction class hyperlink shows the XMC tranclass resource records.
