  • Average Response Time (ms)
  • Request Rate (Req/Sec)
  • Error Rate (Errors/sec)
  • Monitoring Level
  • Number of problem Situations
  • List of top 10 situations
If ITCAM for SOA version 7.2 is installed on the monitored Business Process Manager server, right-click any application and select Selected Application - Group Summary to view the Group Summary workspace, provided by ITCAM for SOA. In this workspace, you can see the status of all process groups that include any components or operations that are a part of the selected application.
When you double click an Application icon, the following subsidiary views are displayed in either the Application Trend at L1 or Application Trend at L2/L3 workspace:
  • Response Time Trend
  • Error Rate Trend
  • Request Rate Trend
  • Selected Application Summary: Application Name
For further information about the Application Trend workspace, see Selected Application - Application Trend at L1 workspace, and Selected Application - Application Trend at L2/L3 workspace

Application Server Summary and Business Process Manager Summary workspaces

To access the workspaces, complete the following steps:

  1. Within the Navigator, expand Windows Systems, Linux® Systems, z/OS® Systems, or UNIX Systems, as appropriate for the node you are monitoring.
  2. Within the node list, expand the entry that corresponds to the node that you want to select.
  3. Within that node list of monitored applications, expand the list of WebSphere agents.
  4. Within the list of available agents, click a WebSphere Application Server or Business Process Manager entry.
