MONITORING ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSACTIONS WITHIN SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A monitoring system is used to monitor extended business transactions comprised of asynchronous messages. Each message may be a request or a response of an application transaction request-response pair and may be identified with a unique identifier. The unique identifier may be used to identify two or more asynchronous messages, where each extended business transaction may be associated with one or more unique identifiers to identify messages that comprise the business transaction. The extended business transactions are completed over an extended period of time and implemented over several different machines which may or may not be in communication with each other are monitored. Alerts are generated when messages of the extended business transaction do not satisfy a threshold or other criteria, such as a time period for occurring. A user interface or other mechanism may be used to configure the transactions and provide information regarding the status of the transactions and alerts generated for uncompleted portions of the transaction.
