Measures reported by PepPrsJdbcConnTest

If the Peoplesoft Process Scheduler is unable to connect to the database owing to the absence of adequate connections in the connection pool, then it may not be able to determine whether/not any process requests are registered with the Process table. As a result, critical batch processes may not execute and reports may not be generated. Using the PepPrsJdbcConnTest, administrators can periodically monitor the usage of each connection pool and promptly detect when a pool runs short of connections. This way, the test provides useful pointers to resizing connection pools.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Max_pool_size Indicates the maximum number of connections in this pool. Number  
Current_pool_size Indicates the current size of this pool. Number  
Connection_used Indicates the number of used connections relative to the size of the pool. Number  
Free_connection_count Indicates the percentage of unused connections in this pool. Percent A high value is desired for this measure. If the value is low, it indicates abnormal usage of the connection pool. You may want to consider resizing the pool, so that sufficient connections are always available in the pool.
