Enable response time breakdown collection for specific page elements
Overview
You can enable response time breakdown for specific pages or page elements, to see how much time is spent in each part of the application as the schedule runs.Enabling response time breakdown collection for only certain page elements can be useful to minimize the amount of data collected. Enabling response time breakdown collection for a whole schedule can require substantial amounts of memory.
To collect response time breakdown, the data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured, and running on all computers that are used in the distributed application under test.
If you enable response time breakdown collection for a test and the remote computers are not running the DCI, the following error is displayed:
-
IWAY0159E The DCI does not appear to be running on hostname. Please ensure that it is running and try again.
Enable response time breakdown collection for specific page elements
- Open a test in the editor.
- Expand the list under Test Contents to display the pages or page elements of interest.
- Select the pages or page elements for which to collect response time breakdown data.
- Under Test Element Details, select...
-
Enable response time breakdown
You might need to scroll down in the test editor view to display the Enable response time breakdown check box.
The check box is displayed only for elements that support response time breakdown data collection. The specific elements that support response time breakdown vary depending on the protocol (HTTP, SAP, Citrix, and so on).
Restricting the scope of the response time breakdown collection improves performance as well as memory utilization. You should enable response time breakdown at as fine grained a level as possible. Enabling response time breakdown at too broad a scope can greatly magnify the time spent in areas with lots of Java EE interactions.
