Transaction Management
A business transaction is a real-world transaction executed by a business application, such as ordering a book online or withdrawing money at an ATM. In BSM, a business transaction is mapped to a Business Transaction CI.
The Transaction Management application adds business context and impact to business transactions, by providing the following:
- Transaction monitoring. Provides aggregate statistics about all transaction instances in the application environment. It relies on data collected by any of TransactionVision, RUM, and HP Diagnostics. When HP Diagnostics is used, it can provide insight into all tiers of the application environment.
- Transaction tracing. Provides statistics for each individual business transaction instance across all tiers of the application environment. It relies on data collected by the TransactionVision data collector. Payload information is also captured. The reports and topologies of Transaction Management show the interaction of a business transaction among all the components of your system in tables and graphs.
When a Transaction Management report has more than one data source, it presents a combined view of the data from all of the sources. Transaction Management reports and topologies provide the following transaction information:
- The state of the transaction. For example, a stock buy transaction would fail if the account balance was less than $10,000, which is required to do the purchase, or a margin buy would fail if the account ratio is below a minimum balance threshold.
- A business value associated with the transaction.
- Whether the transaction has exceeded its threshold.
