Measures reported by TuxedoConnsTest

Several types of applications require the notion of a conversation with a server during which context is kept from message to message. Application programmers can use the conversational functions to establish and maintain state-preserving connections between the requesting process and conversational server processes. Specifically, programmers can do the following:

• Open a connection to a conversational server
• Begin and end a global transaction during the conversation
• Have a conversation span multiple machines and resource managers
• Detect and provide notification of connection failures
• Terminate the connection when satisfied that the task has been completed

A conversational server is dedicated to the originating requester for the duration of the connection; the system automatically spawns a new copy of a server if one is not available when a conversational connection is requested.

This test monitors the number of conversational connections that are currently active on the Tuxedo server.
