Foglight for PeopleSoft 5.6.11 - User and Reference Guide

Requests Queued — Indicates the current length of the queue, measured by the number of requests waiting to be processed at the time of data collection.
A value greater than zero for the Requests Queued indicates a queuing state where some requests or services are active and waiting in a queue for the corresponding application server process to process those requests. If Request Queued values greater than zero are observed for a number of consecutive collection cycles, it might indicate an insufficient number of instances of that application server process are configured within the application server domain to process requests from clients.

NOTE: If the T_DOMAIN:TA_LDBAL attribute is “N” or the T_DOMAIN: TA_MODEL attribute is “MP”, this field does not return a value. Therefore, when this field does return a value, TA_LMID and TA_SOURCE have the same value. These values can be configured in the psappsrv.ubx configuration file.

•

Requests Queued Total — Indicates the number of times a request waited to be processed for an application server process at the time of data collection, since the application server domain started.

•

Spawning (%) — The percent of process spawning found during the collection interval. Zero percent should be the normal value if MinInstances = MaxInstances, which is the recommended configuration by PeopleSoft.

•

Spawning (%) bar. For more information, see PS_AppServer_Process_Configuration Graph View.

•

Requests Queued bar. For more information, see PS_AppServer_Active_Services Graph View. This displays the number of requests enqueued and number of requests completed for a particular service or request.

•

Requests Queued Total bar. For more information, see PS_AppServer_Users_In_Queue Graph View. This displays the user activity for request being processed during the collection interval.

PS_AppServer_Services Table View

Purpose

The PS_AppServer_Services view displays the number of requests enqueued and number of requests completed for a particular service or request type when there are requests enqueued on an application server process during the collection period.

Table 13. Description of the PS_AppServer_Services Table View

Data displayed

•

Service Name — The service name.

•

Server Group Name — The service group name.

•

Active Requests — The number of service requests enqueued at the time of data collection. A value of Active Requests greater than zero indicates a queuing condition where requests for that service type are in queue waiting to be processed by the appropriate application server process. Typically, this may be reflected by a Requests Enqueued value greater than zero for an application server process queue processing that particular service.

NOTE: This field shows a value only when T_DOMAIN:TA_MODEL is set to SHM, and T_DOMAIN:TA_LDBAL is set to Y. The above properties can be set in the psappsrv.ubx configuration file.

•

Requests — The total number of requests processed by a server at the time of data collection since the application server domain process started or recycled.

NOTE: This field shows a value only when T_DOMAIN:TA_LDBAL is set to Y. This parameter can be set in the psappsrv.ubx configuration file.

•

Requests Processed — The total number of requests a server process processed during the collection interval. Requests Processed displays the number of client service requests processed and completed by the application server process advertising those particular services during the collection interval.

NOTE: This field shows a value only when T_DOMAIN: TA_LDBAL is set to Y. This parameter can be set in the psappsrv.ubx configuration file.

•

Load — The load factor for the service belonging to the server group during the collection period. Typically, this value is 50 for PeopleSoft application processes and services.

NOTE: Service loads have meaning only when T_DOMAIN:TA_LDBAL is set to Y. This parameter can be set in the psappsrv.ubx configuration file.

PS_AppServer_Users_In_Queue Graph View

Purpose

The PS_AppServer_Users_In_Queue graph provides a list of users with Active Requests greater than zero at the time of data collection.

Table 14. Description of the PS_AppServer_Users_In_Queue Graph View

Data displayed

•

Active Requests — The number of requests initiated by the client that are still active at the time of data collection. The active requests numbers represent the number of requests that are still waiting to be processed for a particular Tuxedo client (for example, a work station or jolt station handler, or the PeopleSoft application user who is logged in to the application server domain).

•

Requests — The number of requests made by the client that are reported at the time of data collection. Typically, this indicates the activity of the PeopleSoft application users or the workstation or jolt station handlers. The data for requests represents the value since the client is active within the application server domain, for example, the value since inception or connection to the PeopleSoft application server domain, or since the time the user logged on. Typically, for the same active user, these values tend to increase in consecutive collection cycles. No changes in the Requests value for a particular PeopleSoft application user indicates that the user had no activity over that period of time.

•

User Name — User name associated with the client through the usrname element of the TPINIT structure. User Name is typically either the workstation or jolt station handler, or the log in ID of the PeopleSoft application user.
