AppMetrics for Transactions
and NetIQ AppManager
AppMetricsŪ for Transactions maximizes the availability of your applications. Organizations invest substantial sums of money in the development, deployment, and day-to-day use of large-scale applications. These business-critical applications require day-to-day management to ensure high availability and maximum return on investment.
Most of the enterprise management frameworks and several management consoles are capable of providing cursory information on your MTS or COM+ servers. Some even offer specific, optional management modules. But even with these modules, the information they generate can only tell you that your system is 'sick' or consuming resources too quickly. They are unable to answer the real questions: Which application on the server is ailing? And pinpoint which of application's components are causing the problem?
Business components often behave differently when under load than how they first behaved when engineered and tested on an isolated developer's machine. When an application enters production, load factors stress not only the application server, but also the network, web servers, even your databases. Typically load exposes errors in programming and raises performance tuning and scalability issues. And ultimately, this can have a detrimental affect on the day-to-day health of your business critical application.
