Global Response Time Monitoring Control

The Global RTM Control panel lets you specify whether the response times of applications and LUs are to be tracked and monitored. To measure response times, applications must first be intercepted then included in the RTM.

The Global RTM Control Panel (5.1.0) lets you control whether any of the following devices’ data streams are included in, or excluded from, any type of response time monitoring:

• single LU or Applid
• list of LUs or Applids in a table

This panel is used to add, delete, or edit LU or Applid entries in a new or existing table. For information about how to update entries in a table, see Include/Exclude Tables.

Response time is monitored by turning on the definite response bit for applications included in the Global RTM Monitor panel. Applications which do not support this VTAM functionality or have problems with this should be excluded from response time monitoring. Devices which support definite responses (such as LU2 sessions, optimized LU0 sessions, terminals, and session managers acting as secondary LUs) are eligible for monitoring. LU 6.2 sessions cannot be monitored through RTM because these devices do not support definite responses.
