The plug-in for BMC Transaction Management Application Response Time (BMC TM ART) is no longer available. Upgrading from 2.5.x to 2.6 removes the plug-in from the system.

To monitor synthetic transactions, BMC recommends using the synthetic transaction monitoring solution powered by Borland Silk Performer Synthetic Transaction Monitoring for BMC Software.
