Measures reported by DocSubmitTest

The DocSubmitTest measures the performance of the messaging service while submitting documents to the BizTalk server 2000. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Submit_rate This measure shows the number of documents submitted asynchronously per second to the BizTalk server from the application. Once submitted, the BizTalk server holds the documents in the work queue for further processing. Docs/Sec A sudden increase in the value of this measure denotes a change in the workload.

A value of –1 for this measure indicates that either the BizTalk Messaging Service or XLANG Schedule Restart Service or Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) may not be running.

If the value of this measure is unusually low, then verify the interface between the BizTalk server and the application or check the event log entry in the BizTalk server administration.

Mapped_rate BizTalk runtime process maps the actual document content from one structural form to another.

This measure shows the number of documents that have been mapped per second by the runtime process.

 

Docs/Sec A sudden increase in the value of this measure indicates that larger number of documents are being mapped by the BizTalk runtime process. This scenario indicates an increased workload.

A value of –1 for this measure implies that the BizTalk Messaging Service or Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) or XLANG Schedule Restart Service may not be running.

For other reasons, verify the status of the document available in the suspended queue using the BizTalk server administration. If the status corresponding to a document is Mapping then it indicates that the document has been failed to map. To rectify this problem, delete the document from the suspended queue, correct the map and resubmit the document.

Parsed_rate This measure shows the number of documents in the work queue that is being parsed per second by the appropriate parser. Docs/Sec A sudden increase in the value of this measure indicates that the parser is parsing larger number of documents. This scenario may be due to the deletion of large number of documents from the suspended queue, which affects the performance of the parser.

A value of –1 for this measure implies that the BizTalk Messaging Service or Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) or XLANG Schedule Restart Service may not be running.

Incase of an unusually low value, verify the status of the documents available in the suspended queue using the BizTalk server administration. If the status corresponding to the document is parsing then it indicates that the BizTalk server was unable to parse the data. The other reasons could be that the timestamp of the document is no longer valid, or the document does not contain enough information to locate the channel.

Process_rate This measure indicates the number of documents being processed successfully (necessary changes to the document) per second by the runtime process. Docs/Sec A high value for this measure over a period may indicate that the runtime system is processing larger number of documents. This scenario may indicate a change in the workload.

A value of –1 for this measure implies that the BizTalk Messaging Service or Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) or XLANG Schedule Restart Service may not be running.

Incase of an unusually low value, verify the status of Microsoft SQL server in the Service Manager tool available in the Microsoft SQL server environment. Also check the status of the document available in the suspended queue using the BizTalk server administration.
