Measures reported by IIBODBCTest

The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard application programming interface (API) used for accessing data in both relational and non-relational database management systems. By using this API, database applications can access data stored in database management systems on various computers, even if each database management system uses a different data storage format and programming interface. Often administrators may want to figure put how well the ODBC DSN is utilized in the target environment. The IIBODBCTest test exactly helps administrators identify the same!

This test auto discovers the ODBC DSNs integrated with the IBM Integration Bus and for each ODBC DSN, reports the numerical statistics of the following:

  • Successful execution of the statements
  • Statements that failed execution
  • Active connections
  • Closed connections
  • Connections that are experiencing errors etc

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
successRate Indicates the number of times statements were executed successfully through this ODBC DSN during the last measurement period. Number A high value is desired for this measure.
failedRate Indicates the number of times statements failed to execute through this ODBC DSN during the last measurement period. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
totalExecutionRate Indicates the total number of times statements were executed through this ODBC DSN during the last measurement period. Number The value of this measure is cumulative of the successRate and the failedRate measures.
activeConnections Indicates the number of connections that were open to this ODBC DSN during the last measurement period. Number  
closedConnections Indicates the number of connections to this ODBC DSN that were closed during the last measurement period. Number The value of this measure includes the connections that were closed due to errors, connections forced to close by the DBMS and the connections closed by the broker because the connections were no longer required.
connectionsErrors Indicates the number of times the connections to this ODBC DSN were error prone during the last measurement period. Number A low value is desired for this measure.
