IBM My webMethods Server provides you with built-in capabilities for tracking and analyzing Task Engine performance.

To view the Task Engine performance information

Procedure

  1. Log on to IBM My webMethods Server using the 'sysadmin' account (default password is 'manage').
  2. Navigate to Folders > Administrative Folders > Administration Dashboard > Analysis > Performance Analysis and Configuration.
  3. In the Refine drop-down list, select Task.

    The resulting list displays columns for the Number of Actions, the Total Time, and the Average Time for the following task activities:

    • TaskCompletionHandler.execute -- send task completion to Process Engine.
    • TaskSchedulerHandler -- task Date/Time events.
    • TaskMechanics.updateCluster -- cluster notification for task updates.
    • TaskMechanics.getInfo -- obtain basic task info.
    • TaskMechanics.getData -- obtain task business data.
    • TaskMechanics.delete -- delete task.
    • TaskMechanics.update -- any task updates, including queuing a new task.
    • TaskFormFlowService.nnn -- form flow operations.
    • TaskChangeHandler.onEvent -- process all task assignments and events.
    • TaskApplyChangesWait -- task updates from client (CAF) applications.
    • TaskMechanics.countIndex -- indexed search count.
    • TaskMechanics.searchIndex -- indexed search.
    • TaskMechanics.search -- non-indexed search.
    • Any task assignments or events are tracked under "rule:<name>" with the name of the assignment or event.
    Note: With proper permissions, you can also access the Performance Analysis portlet from the My webMethods user interface at Tools > MWS Monitoring and Diagnostics > Performance Information > Performance Analysis.
