NumberOfSubAreas

A count of subareas within the area that contain data. This figure also indicates the number of <SubArea> tags appearing under the particular <Area> tag.

Invocations

Number of times this area was called during the monitoring period.

• Recursive - One of the key features of Siebel ARM is the capability to handle recursion. An example of a recursive call is if a workflow step calls an Application Object Manager (AOM) function, which also invokes another workflow step. When accounting for the number of times the workflow layer is called, Siebel ARM uses two metrics: Recursive and NonRecursive. In the previous example, Recursive is 1 and NonRecursive is also 1. When calculating the response time, only the root-level call is accounted for, that is, the first workflow call to the AOM function. When calculating execution time, both calls are accounted for.
• Nonrecursive - Number of times an instrumentation area is called. This tag helps identify how fast it takes a layer to respond to a request.

ResponseTime

Specifies the time spent for a request to enter and exit an instrumentation area (layer) including calls to other child areas. Also called inclusive time in other commercial profiling tools. Other tags in this area include:

• Total - Total time spent by requests through this instrumentation area (layer).
• Average - Average response time for a request.
• StandardDeviation - The standard deviation value of request times through this area.
• +<Maximum> - The maximum time spent by a request in this area. Expand this tag to review further details on the specific Siebel ARM node where this time was spent. For further information on Siebel ARM node tags, see About Call Graph Generation Analysis and Data.
• +<Minimum> - The minimum time spent by a request in this area. Expand this tag to review further details on the specific Siebel ARM node where this time was spent. For further information on Siebel ARM node tags, see About Call Graph Generation Analysis and Data.

ExecutionTime

Specifies the total time spent in a particular instrumentation area, not including the time spent in the descendant layers. It is also called exclusive time in other commercial profiling tools. Other tags in this area include:

• Total - Total time spent for a request to enter and exit an instrumentation area (layer).
• Calls - Total number of calls including both recursive and non-recursive calls.
• Average - Average time spent for a request to enter and exit an instrumentation area (layer).
• Maximum - Maximum time for a request to enter and exit an instrumentation area (layer).
• Minimum - Minimum time for a request to enter and exit an instrumentation area (layer).

ExclusiveMemory

Specifies amount of memory used by requests that enter only this area. The memory value is recorded in bytes.

Other tags in this area include:

• Average - Average memory usage bya request in this area.
• StandardDeviation - The standard deviation value of memory usage in this area.
• +<MaxAllocated> - Expand this tag to reveal further data on Siebel ARM node where maximum memory was allocated.
• +<MaxDeallocated> - Expand this tag to reveal further data on Siebel ARM node where memory was deallocated.

• Invocations - Number of times this subarea was called during the monitoring period.
• +<ResponseTime> - Specifies the time spent for requests to enter and exit the subarea. Expand this tag to review further timing details. These tags are the same as those defined for the area ResponseTime tag.
