Measures reported by WsLocalTxTest

The WsLocalTxTest measures the statistics pertaining to the local transactions that take place in the WebSphere application server. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Local_tx_begun_rate Indicates the rate at which the local transactions begin at the server. Trans/Sec A high value indicates an increased overload on the server.
Active_local_tx Indicates the average number of concurrently active local transactions. Number If the value of this measure is high, it signifies greater load on the server. This might increase the number of waiting local transactions.
Local_tx_duration Indicates the average duration of the local transactions. Secs A high transaction duration value indicates increased load on the server.
Local_commit_duration Indicates the average duration of commit for local transactions. Secs If the total time taken for committing a local transaction is high, then it indicates a bottleneck on the server.
Local_tx_commit_rate Indicates the rate at which the local transactions are being committed. Trans/Sec If the rate of transactions that are being committed is very high, it signifies load on the server. It might be caused when some locked transactions are released suddenly.
Local_tx_rolled_back_rate Indicates the rate at which the local transactions are being rolled back. Trans/Sec A high value indicates a problem with the application. Possible reasons could be the problem with application or with some other dependent server (e.g. Database).
Local_tx_timedout_rate Indicates the rate at which the local transactions are being timed out. Trans/Sec Again, a rise in the value could be due to the problem with the application or with some other dependent server like the database.
