BW Processes

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

• BW Processes Heatmap: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Processes Heatmap , which shows process execution metrics for all processes.
• BW Process: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks Process Summary display, which shows current and historical metrics for a single process.

 

TIBCO BusinessWorks Processes Table

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

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 Process Summary display and view metrics for that particular process. Toggle between the commonly accessed Table and Heatmap displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title.

TIBCO BusinessWorks Processes Heatmap

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

The heatmap is organized by host with each rectangle representing a process. Move your mouse over a node to display current metrics. Choose a domain, AppSpace, AppNode, and Application from the drop-down menus. Click the Show App 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 Active Count metric. Select a different metric from the Metric drop down menu to display the heatmap based on that metric. Drill-down and investigate by clicking a rectangle in the heatmap to view details for the selected application in the TIBCO BusinessWorks Process Summary display.

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.
