Application
Response
Management
This
adapter
is
compatible
with
the
Application
Response
Measurement
application
programming
interface
(API),
an
API
that
allows
applications
to
be
managed
for
availability,
service
level
agreements,
and
capacity
planning.
An
ARM-instrumented
application
can
participate
in
IBM
Tivoli
Monitoring
for
Transaction
Performance,
allowing
collection
and
review
of
data
concerning
transaction
metrics.

ARM
instrumentation
is
enabled
via
by
setting
the
standard
property
TivoliMonitorTransactionPerformance
in
Connector
Configurator
to
“True.”
By

Transaction
monitoring
When
ARM
is
enabled,
the
transactions
that
are
monitored
are
service
events
and
event
deliveries.
The
transaction
is
measured
from
the
start
of
a
service
request
or
event
delivery
to
the
end
of
the
service
request
or
event
delivery.
The
name
of
the
transaction
displayed
on
the
Tivoli
Monitoring
for
Transaction
Performance
console
will
start
with
either
SERVICE
REQUEST
or
EVENT
DELIVERY.
The
next
part
of
the
name
will
be
the
business
object
verb
(such
as
CREATE,
RETRIEVE,
UPDATE
or
DELETE).
The
final
part
of
the
name
will
be
the
