Measures reported by IIBSOAPStTest

SOAP is a lightweight, XML-based protocol used for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP can be used to query and return information and invoke services across the internet.

For each SOAP URL/service integrated with the target IBM Integration Bus, this test reports how well messages are sent/received from the SOAP client. This test is therefore useful for administrators to identify the load on the SOAP client and figure out the errors that occurred when messages are sent to the message flow. This way administrators may be proactively alerted to processing bottlenecks in the SOAP client.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
inboundMessagesRate Indicates the rate at which messages are received from the SOAP client through this service during the last measurement period. Messages/sec Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A consistent decrease in this value indicates that there is a delay while reading messages from the SOAP client. Further investigation may be required to diagnose the root-cause of the slowdown.
repliesSentRate Indicates the rate at which replies are sent to the SOAP client from the SOAP Reply node through this service during the last measurement period. Replies/sec  
inboundMessagesFlowRate Indicates the rate at which messages were sent to the message flow through this service without any faults during the last measurement period. Messages/sec This measure is a good indicator of the load on the SOAP client.
inboundMsgFaultBefFlow Indicates the number of messages through this service that faulted before reaching the message flow during the last measurement period. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
msgFaultRate Indicates the rate at which messages through this service faulted before reaching the message flow during the last measurement period. Messages/sec Ideally, the value of this emasure should be zero.
faultRepliesSent Indicates the number of faulty replies sent through this service during the last measurement period. Number The faulty replies may be user defiend or broker exceptions.
faultRepliesRate Indicates the rate at which faulty replies were sent through this service during the last measurement period. Replies/sec The faulty replies may be user defiend or broker exceptions.
