Measures reported by PepPrsServiceTest

Server processes in a process scheduler domain respond to Tuxedo service requests (e.g. RunAeAsync, ChkAeStatus) issued by PSPRCSRV.

Whenever a Process Scheduler domain receives a process request, it queues the request to a specific server process that is designed to handle certain services. When a server process boots, it advertises to the system the predefined services it handles.

If the server process is down or is not ready to handle any requests, then all services it handles will also be unavailable; this can severely hamper request processing by the server. Moreover, if even a single service processes requests slowly, user experience with the Process Scheduler will be adversely impacted. Using the PepPrsServiceTest, administrators can quickly detect such anomalies and initiate measures to correct them, so that requests are serviced promptly. Additionally, the test also periodically reports the count of requests handled by each service, thus highlighting the most popular/busiest services delivered by the Process Scheduler domain.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this service. Number The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric value
Available 100
Not Available 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Value mentioned above to indicate the current state of a server. The graph of this measure however, represents the same using the numeric equivalent only.
Request_handle Indicates the number of requests handled by this service since the last measurement period. Number A very high value could indicate that the service is overloaded with requests. You can compare the value of this measure across services to know which services have the maximum number of requests; this way, you can find out which services are most popular or are the busiest.
Request_rate Indicates the rate at which requests were handled by this service. Requests/Sec A consistent dip in the value of this measure is a cause for concern as it indicates that the service is unable to process requests quickly. This could hint at a processing slowdown.
