Application Connections Workspace
The Application Connections Workspace displays information that
identifies current connections and performance information for the
TCP/IP application you selected in the Applications workspace.
The Applications Connections Workspace contains all the function
of the default Connections workspace. However, the following differences
are important:
- Because the Applications Connections workspace is the target of
a link from the Applications workspace, this workspace shows connections
for the application that was chosen when the link was executed.
- There is no byte-rate filtering in the Application Connections
workspace Connection Summary Table view.
Using the Application Connections Workspace, you can see performance
information such as:
- Inbound, outbound, and total transmitted bytes
- Inbound, outbound, and total transmitted datagrams
- The number of TCP retransmissions
The Application Connections Workspace displays the following views:
- Current Byte Rate >= 1024: Displays the
number of bytes sent or received, per minute, during the most recent
time interval by connection number or ID as a bar chart for this application.
- Current Datagram Rate > 0: Displays the
number of datagrams, per minute, transmitted to or from connections
during the most recent time interval as a bar chart for this application.
- Current Retransmits > 0: Displays the retransmits
in the last sample and the total retransmits by connection number
or ID as a bar chart for this application, where:
- Yellow represents Retransmits Last Sample.
- Blue represents Total Retransmits.
- Response Time > 0.2 Seconds: Displays the
response time and response time variance, in 1/10 seconds, by connection
number or ID as a bar chart for this application, where:
- Yellow represents Response Time.
- Blue represents Response Time Variance.
- Connections Summary Table : Displays
performance summary data for each TCP/IP connection for the selected
application.
Connections Summary Table
The Connections Summary Table displays performance summary data
for each TCP/IP connection for this application.
Right-click the Link icon in the Connections Summary Table to display
the following workspaces. These linked workspaces display the connections
associated with the selected application:
- NetView for z/OS: Packet
Trace - Start: (default) Launches a session to Tivoli
NetView for z/OS V5.4 inside Tivoli Enterprise Portal using the Dynamic
Link to 3270 feature, if the NetView program is configured for packet
trace and active on the system in which this instance of the OMEGAMON
XE for Mainframe Networks monitoring agent is running. This link launches
directly into the NetView for z/OS V5.4 product and starts NetView
IP packet trace for the selected connection. At the end of the process,
you are left in the NetView for z/OS PKTTRACE Control panel. You can
then view the captured packets from Tivoli Enterprise Portal or perform
other NetView functions once this script terminates.
- NetView for z/OS: Packet
Trace - Stop: Launches a session to Tivoli NetView for
z/OS V5.4 inside a Tivoli Enterprise Portal terminal view using the
Dynamic Link to 3270 feature, if the NetView program is configured
for packet trace and active on the system in which this instance of
the OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks monitoring agent is running.
This link runs a script which stops IP packet trace for the selected
connection. At script termination, you are left in the NetView for
z/OS PKTTRACE Control panel. You can then view the captured packets
from Tivoli Enterprise Portal or perform other NetView functions

Summary Table, and a brief description of each, see the TCP Connections Attributes help panel.
