The Server Group feature that displays at the top of these pages applies to the MSVE. When you access any MSVE page from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, the information in the Groups and Servers fields is automatically populated with the data collector associated with the link and workspace you selected in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
Groups are a set of application servers which have similar functionality. All configured data collectors are automatically assigned to the Unassigned Servers Group. The relationship between Server Group and data collector is many to many. A data collector can belong to one or more server groups. A server group can have one or more data collectors. You can add data collectors to groups using the Server Management functionality in the MSVE. For more information about adding data collectors to Server Groups, refer to the Composite Application Manager Help in the MSVE interface.

Active Requests | Real-time request or transaction data for an application server at the time the page displays. |
Recent Requests | Display the last 100 or less completed request or transaction data for an application server. |
Lock Contentions | Display requests that are hanging because they are waiting on a lock. The data shows data that is currently locked and the item that is waiting to be locked. |
