Some synthetic results are not displayed in an Analyzer
This topic provides information about how to resolve synthetic transaction results that are not displayed in the Real User Analyzer.
Cannot see parameters and some data for the synthetic URI
Issue
Some data cannot be displayed because the synthetic parameters are not available in the Real User Analyzer.
Probable cause
The configuration of the confidentiality policy in the Real User Collector is not configured to collect the parameters for synthetic data.

Partial data or no data is displayed in the Real User Analyzer
Issue
Partial data or no data is displayed in the Real User Analyzer. On the TEA Agents page under the Synthetic tab, the Rejected Transactions column shows many rejected transactions.
Probable cause
The computer with the BMC Synthetic Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent installation is not synchronized with the Real User Collector computer, resulting in data that is dropped because it is detected as in the future or as old data.
Resolution
Synchronize the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Analyzer and Collector, and all TEA Agents, with the same Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
No data is displayed in the Real User Analyzer or Real User Collector
Issue
No data is displayed in the Real User Analyzer or Real User Collector.
Probable cause
The TEA Agent cannot connect to the Real User Collector.
Resolution
Check the logs for the TEA Agent. The following message in the TEA Agent log file indicates that the Real User Collector connection credentials are invalid:
To change the Real User Collector credentials that the TEA Agent uses to connect, update the TEA Agent and enter valid credentials.
Partial data or no data is displayed after TEA Agent starts or restarts
Issue
After the BMC Synthetic Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent starts or restarts, synthetic transaction data is not displayed in the Real User Analyzer or Real User Collector. On the TEA Agents page under the Synthetic tab, the Rejected Transactions column shows many rejected transactions.
Probable cause
All at once, several Execution Plans execute scripts on the TEA Agent, which causes a spike in the TEA Agent computer's memory and CPU usage. Results are sent to the Real User Collector late, and therefore, they are rejected.
Resolution
To spread out the start of Execution Plans, adjust the random delay period. The longer the delay period, the more the Execution Plan start times are spread out.
Ensure that the delay period is less than the Execution Plan run frequency.
To adjust the random delay period
- On the TEA Agent computer, open the agent_config.xml file, located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\BMCTEAAgent\WorkingFolder\Conf directory.
Locate the <MaxDelayOnStart> element and adjust the value:
<!--Max execution delay (in sec) on EP start: minimum is 1; maximum is 900-->
<MaxDelayOnStart>60</MaxDelayOnStart>The value represents the amount of time (between 1 and 900 seconds) within which the TEA Agent randomly delays the first execution of a script.
- Save the file.
- Restart the TEA Agent.
For example, if the delay period is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes), you can expect Execution Plans to take up to 10 minutes to start in each of the following situations:
- TEA Agent restarts
- End of a blackout period
- Inactive Execution Plan becomes active
