Measuring IMS TM resource adapter performance

To measure IMS TM resource adapter performance, use the interaction execution as the measurement point.

Measuring the time between the opening and closing of the socket does not provide useful data because various nuisances that have nothing to do with the actual transaction response time could be involved. A meaningful transaction response time should be calculated from the start of the send request to the end of the request by setting the start and stop timers around the IMSInteraction.execute() method.

The measured data would be similar to what would be measured in IMS Connect HWS trace and other mainframe performance measurement tools.
