Viewing Top Components

Access the Top Components page (PeopleTools, Performance Monitor, Analytics, Top Components).

All charts have a View in Grid hyperlink to show the chart information in a grid. This enables you to sort the information and to download to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

The data on this page is generated from PMU 401 (ICPanel), and it is grouped by action, as in ICSave. The system passes the "action" to the application server as part of an ICPanel service request specifying the reason for the request.

On this page, the charts are grouped by action. The "action" refers to the action of a user in a component. The following are examples of how the actions appear:

  • "#KEY" translates into Load Component.

  • "#ICPanel1" translates into "Tab to Page."

  • Launch Page/Search Page.

  • Click PeopleCode Command Button for Field DERIVED_PSPM.PM_FILTERCHANGE.

  • Switch to Add Action Mode.

  • Launch Secondary Page.

  • Change Drop Down List Value for Field PRCSRQSTDLG_WRK.RECURNAME.

  • Click OK or Save to Save Secondary Page.

  • Click Cancel on Secondary Page.

  • Save Component.

  • Select Row0 From Search Result.

  • Select Row1 From Search Result.

  • Sort Column on Grid.

  • Tab to Next Page.

  • View Page.

Before viewing top components, you must first enter search criteria.

Field or Control

Definition
System ID

Identifies each monitored system. PeopleSoft automatically generates this value incrementally. System definitions are created automatically when the first agent of a monitored system registers with the monitoring system.
Database Name

The name of the PeopleSoft application database running on the monitored system. The monitoring system automatically inserts this value when it recognizes and creates a monitored system.
User ID

The user ID of the user who generated the request.

The User ID field prompts against the PSPMOPRDEFN table, which is populated by the Lookup program (PSPM_LOOKUP).
Performance Trace Name

You enter the performance trace name to search on PMUs within a particular performance trace. If a user has launched a performance trace in the Performance Console, the system labels every PMU that is generated in a business process with a performance trace name.

Performance Trace Name prompts against the PSPMPERFTRACE table, which is populated by the Lookup program (PSPM_LOOKUP).

Note: When searching using a performance trace name, the search ignores all agent IDs, so the current system ID is not relevant.
Component

Select the component name.
Market

Select the market to which the component belongs.
From/To Date/Time

Specify a range of time. The system searches on the monitor date and time, not the agent date and time. If you do not specify a time range, by default, the system displays information for the current day, starting at midnight (12:00 AM).
Search

The Search button performs a search based on the search criteria defined on the page. It should be pressed only once per search. If you want to view the most current information, use theRefresh button after running the initial search. If you clickSearch repeatedly, the system returns the same results from the same time range for each search.
Number to Retrieve

The number of top ranked statistics to be displayed on the charts.
Refresh

Updates the To Time value to equal the current time. This enables you to view the most current results of a search.
