Siebel EAI Test
Siebel EAI provides components for integrating Siebel Business Applications with external and internal applications, and provides inbound and outbound interfaces to and from a Siebel application.
Siebel EAI support for XML allows you to communicate with any Siebel system or external system, or with trading partners that can read and write XML (either arbitrary XML or Siebel XML, also known as the Siebel Message format). XML documents are delivered directly to and from Siebel applications, or through middleware using any of the supported transports: HTTP, IBM MQSeries, Microsoft Messaging Queue (MSMQ), File, and so on. XML communicated in this way can query Siebel Database, upsert (update or insert) data, synchronize the two systems, delete data, or execute a workflow process. By frequently analyzing the XML documents, administrators may be able to figure out the load on the Siebel EAI Adapter and figure out how well the Siebel EAI Adapter is processing the queries made. The Siebel EAI test helps administrators in this process.
This test reports the number of query calls and non query calls made to the Siebel EAI adapter. In addition, this test also helps you to understand the rate at which the input and output property sets are processed. This test also helps you to understand the rate at which the XML calls are generated, the rate at which the XML input buffer grows and the rate at which the XML output buffer is read.
Target of the test : A Siebel Application Server
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Siebel server being monitored.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
|
Port |
The port number at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is 1199. |
|
JMX Remote Port |
Specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from the remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you have mentioned in the agentconfig.connectors.xml file in the <SIEBEL_INSTALL_DIR>\siebsrvr\mgmtagent\pref\system folder used in the target application. |
|
JNDIName |
The JNDIName is a lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector. By default, this is jmxrmi. If you have resgistered the JMX connector in the RMI registery using a different lookup name, then you can change this default value to reflect the same. |
|
Siebel Agent User and Siebel Agent Password |
In order to monitor the Siebel Application server, a valid user possessing admin privileges is required. Specify the login credentials of such a user in the Siebel Agent User and Siebel Agent Password text boxes. |
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the Siebel Agent Password by retyping it here. |
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Query calls |
Indicates the number of query calls made to the Siebel EAI Adapter. |
Number |
This measure is a good indicator of the load on the Siebel EAI Adapter. A high value for this measure indicates a higher load on the Siebel EAI Adapter. |
|
Query size |
Indicates the rate at which the output property sets for all queries are processed. |
KB/Sec |
|
|
Non-query calls |
Indicates the number of non query calls made to the Siebel EAI Adapter. |
Number |
This measure is inclusive of all the Synchronize, Upsert, Insert and Update queries. |
|
Non-query size |
Indicates the rate at which the input property sets for all queries are processed. |
KB/Sec |
|
|
XML calls |
Indicates the rate at which the XML calls are generated in this Siebel EAI Adapter. |
Calls/Sec |
|
|
XML input buffer |
Indicates the rate at which the XML input buffer grows in this Siebel EAI adapter. |
KB/Sec |
|
|
XML output buffer |
Indicates the rate at which the XML output buffer is read from this Siebel EAI adapter. |
KB/Sec |
|
|
XML parser calls |
Indicates the number of XML Parser calls invoked in this Siebel EAI Adapter. |
Number |
