IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Import transaction data from Managing Server to IBM Rational Performance Tester

IBM Rational Performance Tester (RPT) can process and analyze transaction data from ITCAM for Application Diagnostics through a web service. ITCAM for Application Diagnostics supports RPT version 7.x and 8.x. To see ITCAM data in RPT, create application traps with method trace data action in VE.

For the Managing Server to work with RPT:
