IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

J2C Connection Pools attributes

The J2C Connection Pools attribute group provides information about connectors that adhere to J2C, the WAS implementation of the J2C architecture.

Data counters for this category contain usage information about the J2C architecture that enables enterprise beans to connect and interact with procedural backend systems, such as Customer Information Control System (CICS) and Information Management System (IMS™). Examples include the number of managed connections or physical connections and the total number of connections or connection handles.

The attributes within this group are used to build the J2C Connection Pools workspace.

For information about WebSphere PMI metrics, see WebSphere PMI Attribute Mapping.

Application ID

Indicates J2EE application ID.

Average Free Connections

The average number of free Managed Connections for the interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.

Average Pool Size

The average number of Managed Connections for the interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.

Average Usage Time (ms)

The average time (in milliseconds) that connections are in use (measured from when the connection is allocated to when it is returned). Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Average Wait Time (ms)

The average waiting time (in milliseconds) until a connection is granted for the interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Concurrent Waiting Threads

The average number of threads concurrently waiting for a connection for the interval. Format is positive integer. This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.

Connection Allocation Rate (per sec)

The rate (per second) of application connections allocated from Managed Connections for the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Connection Creation Rate

(per sec)

The rate (per second) of Managed Connections created for the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Connection Destruction Rate

(per sec)

The rate (per second) of Managed Connections destroyed for the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Connection Factory Name

The name of the connection factory. Alphanumeric string.

Connection Handles

The number of open application connections that have been allocated from the managed connections. Format is positive integer.

Connection Pool Timeout Rate (per sec)

The rate (per second) of connection pool timeouts for the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Connection Pool Timeouts

The number of faults, such as timeouts, in connection pools for the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.

Connection Return Rate

(per sec)

The rate (per second) of allocated application connections that have been returned for the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Connections Allocated

The number of application connections allocated from Managed Connections. Format is positive integer.

Connections Created

The total number of Managed Connections created during the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.

Connections Destroyed

The number of Managed Connections destroyed during the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.

Connections Granted

The number of Managed Connections granted during the interval. Format is positive integer.

Connections Returned

The number of allocated application connections that have been returned (closed) during the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.

Connections Used

The number of Managed Connection objects available in a particular connection pool; this number includes all Managed Connection objects that have been created but not destroyed. Format is positive integer.

Factory Label

The abbreviated name of the connection factory. Alphanumeric string. Maximum2 characters.

Instrumentation Level

The instrumentation level for the J2C connection pools. For WebSphere 5, the valid values are None, Low, Medium, High, and Maximum; for WebSphere 6 or higher, the valid values are None, Basic, Extended, All, Custom. Blank if no instrumentation level is set.

Interval Time

The length (in seconds) of the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.

Maximum Pool Size

The maximum number of managed connections that can be created in this connection pool (blank for each individual managed connection). Format is positive integer.

Node Name

The name of the system on which the server is running. Alphanumeric string.

Origin Node

The name of the server subnode. Alphanumeric string.

Percent of Time Pool at Max

The average percent of the time that all connections are in use for the interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.

Percent Used Bad

The bad percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.

Percent Used Fair

The fair percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.

Percent Used Good

The good percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.

Pool Used (%)

The average percent of the pool that is in use for the interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.

Row Number

The number of the row within the report, which corresponds to a bar in the Highest Miss Rates bar chart. Format is positive integer.

Sample Date and Time

The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Management Agent collected the data. The valid format is a 12-character timestamp. For the STR and SCAN functions, the format is MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS; the following table shows the values contained in this character string:


Format of the 12-character timestamp

Character String Meaning
MM Month
DD Day
YY Year
HH Hour
MM Minute
SS Second

Example: 09/13/06 18:32:03 indicates the data was collected on September 13, 2006, at 18:32:03.

This attribute was designed for logging and reporting data-collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time and date for comparison and testing, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups.

Server Name

The name of the WebSphere application server. Alphanumeric string.

Set Instrumentation Level

Type

Indicates the WebSphere resource category, which is used by the agent to modify the Instrumentation Level for transaction data collection.

Summary of J2C Connections

Whether this row is a summary row of statistical totals collected for all the J2C connection pools. Valid values are No and Yes.

Total Usage (ms)

The total time (in milliseconds) the connection object used. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).

Total Wait (ms)

The total time (in milliseconds) the connection object waited. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
