• disabled: The corresponding request is not sent to Oracle Tuxedo.
Note:
• Domain ID: Displays the domain identifier attached to the policy as follows: DOMAINID:Master:IPCKEY.
• Tuxedo Components: String that represents policy impact scope of Tuxedo resources in selected domain. It is FML32 boolean expression compliant. For example: (TA_PMID%%'.*BOXBANK*') indicates using an FML32 boolean expression for machine selection.
• Domain: Required.

Table 2 Call Path Tab Options
• Ratio: Accepts a value range of 1-65535. It indicates that monitoring starts for a certain number of requests. The default value is “1” (indicating each request is monitored).
• Interval: Accepts a value range of 1-65535. It indicates a period of time (in seconds) that monitoring can be started. It is exclusive of ratio settings. The default value is “1”. The ratio/interval control only applies to the call path initiator. Dynamic filter conditions are independent of each other. If multiple conditions are configured, the evaluation is true for all conditions and the monitoring can be initiated.For single condition items by default, if one of the item evaluations is true, then the condition is true. This applies to other monitoring policy definitions unless there is a special comment.
Note: "Domain Gateway" acts as a call path initiator for local service requests. For imported services, the initiator type is set to the original caller process. The "Web Service Client" initiator point is established from the Web service gateway process (GWWS).
TSAM Plus 12.1.1.1 rolling patch 020 (or later) Agent supports GWSNAX ECID in call path metrics.
TSAM Plus 12.1.1.1 Manager does not support ECID. In order to display ECID in the console, the Manager version is required to be 12.1.3.0 or later.
To enable the call path monitoring for GWSNAX inbound request, you must select "Domain Gateway" when defining the policy.
