Measurement
Unit |

| Utilization |
The percentage utilization of the dialog work processes of an application server |
Percent
|
|
| Dialog_work_procs |
The number of dialog work processes |
Number
|
|
| Queue_length |
The percentage utilization of the dispatcher wait queue |
Percent
|
With normal workload, this value is around 0%.
A long wait queue is a sign that the application server has too few work processes or too high a CPU workload.
|
| Long_runners |
Indicates how long the long-running dialog processes have been running |
Secs
|
Long-running tasks can block other users' dialog steps and can produce a general degradation of dialog response time for interactive users. Resolving this problem requires analysis of long-running dialog steps. Corrective measures include moving users to another application server, asking users to schedule long-running reports or other actions as background jobs in off-peak time periods, etc.
|
| Dialog_steps |
The number of dialog steps per minute |
Steps/min
|
A high value combined with a high Dialog process time points to a general overload; a very low value, indicates an error.
