Probe Transaction
One of the monitoring facilities in Oracle Utilities Market Settlements Management is a probe transaction for the online component of the product. This is a set of JMX calls to the various components of the architecture to determine two sets of metrics:
• Availability of the component - The availability will return a pass or fail on availability (including details is possible) of the component.
• Raw performance - The raw transaction performance of the component from the call. This represents the raw performance and should be used as a raw indication of performance at the network level.
The following components are tested using this capability:
