Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Aborted transactions

The number of transactions that were aborted during the last measurement period.

Number

A high value indicates a bottleneck on the COM+ server.

The rate at which the transactions on an COM+ server aborted during the last measurement period.

Trans/Sec

 

Active transactions

The number of transactions that are currently active.

Number

A high value for this measure may indicate a large number of active transactions. Alternatively, this may also indicate that due to some reasons the users are not able to complete the transactions.

Max active transactions

The high watermark of active transactions during the last measurement period.

Number

 

Committed transactions

The number of transactions that were committed during the last measurement period.

Number

 

Committed transactions rate

The rate at which transactions were committed during the last measurement period.

Trans/Sec

 

Forcefully aborted transactions

The number of transactions that were forcefully aborted during the last measurement period.

Number

 

Forcefully committed transactions

The number of transactions that were forcefully committed during the last measurement period.

Number

 

In doubt transactions

The number of transactions in doubt.

Number

 

Avg response time

The average time taken by the COM+ Server to respond to user requests.

Secs

A high response time denotes poor responsiveness of the COM+ server. This could be due to the server being overloaded or misconfigured.

Maximum response time

The maximum response time.

Secs

 

Minimum response time

The minimum response time.

Secs

 

Total transactions rate

The number of transactions per sec.

Trans/Sec
