Control transaction response time and delays

Use the response time (CORT) views to analyze and control transaction response time and delays.

Transaction response time and delays overview

Using the transaction delay analysis views, you can answer the following questions:

  • Where are delays occurring?
  • Which events are contributing to response time?

Response time analysis views for IMS transactions that are in progress and IMS transactions that have completed are provided. The views help you quickly determine why transaction response time is not meeting expectations so that you can take steps to resolve the problem.

You can use the CORT views to check:

  • Processing delays incurred by a transaction when it tries to obtain a resource
  • The resource associated with the delay
  • IMS processing events occurring as transactions flow through the system (which reveals events that contribute to transaction response time)

You can also view transaction processing delays and events within a workload to determine why a MainView VistaPoint product workload is not meeting its objective.

The information in views is hierarchical. Lower-level views provide more detailed information related to information at higher levels.
