Measures reported by IMSStoreTxnTest

The iPlanet messaging server instance message store contains a database (Berkley DB) that stores information about the mailboxes on the server and quota information about the mailboxes. The IMSStoreTxnTest Test monitors the transactions to the message store database. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_transactions The number of transactions that are currently active Number A high value for this measure may indicate a large number of active transactions.
Transaction_begins The rate at which transactions have begun Trans/Sec  
Transaction_commits The rate at which transactions have been committed Trans/Sec  
Transaction_aborts The rate at which transactions have been aborted/rolled back Trans/Sec Rollbacks are expensive operations on a database, and hence, will have to be kept at a minimum.
