BW Activities

These displays present performance data for BusinessWorks activities. Use these displays to verify that individual BusinessWorks activities are executing and using resources as expected. Clicking BW Activities from the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Table display, where each row in the table displays all available metrics for the process. The options available under BW Processes are:

• BW Activities Heatmap: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Heatmap , which shows process execution metrics for all activities.
• BW Activity: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary display, which shows current and historical metrics for a single activity.

 

TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Table

Select a domain, AppSpace, AppNode, AppName, and process from the drop-down menus. Each row in the table is a different activity and contains all metrics available for the activity.

Click a column header to sort column data in ascending or descending order. Double-click on a table row to drill-down to the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary display and view metrics for that particular activity. Toggle between the commonly accessed Table and Heatmap displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title.

TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Heatmap

Clicking BW Activities Heatmap in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Heatmap, which allows you to view the most critical BusinessWorks alerts pertaining to activity creation and execution. Use this display to quickly identify activities with critical alerts.

The heatmap is organized so that each rectangle represents a process. Move your mouse over a node to display current metrics. Click on a node to drill-down to the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary display to view specific metrics about process behavior over a specified period of time and determine which activity may be causing the bottleneck.

Choose a domain, AppSpace, AppNode, AppName, and process from the drop-down menus. Limit the activities listed in the table by specifying text in the Activity Name filter field. Click the Show Process Name check-box to include or exclude labels in the heatmap. Mouse over a rectangle to see additional metrics. By default, this display shows data based on the Error Count metric. Select a different metric from the Metric drop down menu to display the heatmap based on that metric.

Show Process Names

Select this check box to display the names of the processes in their respective rectangles in the heatmap.

 

Log Scale

Select to enable a logarithmic scale. Use Log Scale to see usage correlations for data with a wide range of values. For example, if a minority of your data is on a scale of tens, and a majority of your data is on a scale of thousands, the minority of your data is typically not visible in non-log scale graphs. Log Scale makes data on both scales visible by applying logarithmic values rather than actual values to the data.

 

Auto Scale

Select to enable auto-scaling. When auto-scaling is activated, the color gradient bar's maximum range displays the highest value. NOTE: Some metrics auto-scale automatically, even when Auto is not selected.

 

Metric

Select the metric driving the heatmap display. The default is Error Count. Each Metric has a color gradient bar that maps values to colors. The heatmap is organized so that each rectangle represents an activity. Mouse-over any rectangle to display the current values of the metrics for the activity. Click on a rectangle to drill-down to the associated TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary display for a detailed view of metrics for that particular activity.

 

 

Alert Severity

The maximum level of alerts in the heatmap rectangle. Values range from 0 - 2, as indicated in the color gradient bar, where 2 is the highest Alert Severity:

Red indicates that one or more metrics exceeded their ALARM LEVEL threshold.

Yellow indicates that one or more metrics exceeded their WARNING LEVEL threshold.

Green indicates that no metrics have exceeded their alert thresholds.

 

 

Alert Count

The total number of critical and warning alerts in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average alert count.

 

 

Error Count

The total number of errors in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of errors in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average error count.

 

 

Errors/sec

The number of errors per second in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of errors per second in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average errors per second count.

 

 

Exec Count

The total number of executions in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of executions in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average execution count.

 

 

Exec Time/sec

The process execution time per second in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average time.

 

 

Most Recent Exec Time

The execution time for the most recently executed activity in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average time.

 

 

Max Exec Time

The maximum execution time for all activities in the heatmap rectangle, calculated by dividing the delta execution time for the interval by the delta completed, or the number of process instances that completed in the interval. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average time.

 

TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary

Clicking BW Activity in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activity Summary display, which allows you to view current and historical execution metrics for a single BusinessWorks activity. Choose a domain, AppSpace, AppNode, Application Name, Process, and Activity from the drop-down menus.

Clicking on the information boxes at the top of the display takes you to the TIBCO BusinessWorks Activities Table display, where you can view additional activity data.

You can select from two different trend graphs: Utilization and Performance. In the Utilization trend graph region, you can view the rate of executions and average number of errors over a selected time range. In the Performance trend graph region, you can view the average elapsed time and the average execution time over a selected time range.
