CA Business Service Insight Release Notes › New Features › The ACE2 Monitor Tool

The ACE2 Monitor Tool

The ACE2 monitor tool provides insight to the ACE2 engine. The monitor provides the following information:

• Indicates whether the engine is working.
• Identifies which component is working and the task that the component is working on.
• Scheduler information that predicts errors
• Component information
• Queue and Scheduler information for the engine components

The JBOSS web service monitors the ACE2 queues and schedulers. The ACE2 monitor queries the web service. The system calculation status comes from the CA Business Service Insight table.

To access the ACE2 Monitor, select Administration, ACE 2 monitor.

Note: The ACE2 Monitor is available to administrators only.

ACE2 Components

The main ACE2 monitor page displays the status of the main components. To see component-specific data, click the component.

The ACE2 monitor provides information about the following components:

• For each component, the tool provides the average and maximum time for the actions, the number of messages, and the max messages in the queue in the queue.

Correlations Manager

Handles the following tasks:

• Receives events regarding the definitions of registrations.
• Breaks downs new registration like to its correlations.
• Handles change in the registration structure.
• Reacts to raw data events, and finds the affected tasks and handles registration that were defined in advance registration.

Missions Queue Manager (MQM)

Communicates missions between the scheduler (manager part of the engine) and the workers(missions calculation executions part of the engine). The MQM listens both ways for missions that the scheduler dispatches to the workers and results that the workers return to the scheduler.

Scheduler

Receives calculation tasks, breaks the tasks into missions, and dispatching the tasks to the missions manager for calculation. The scheduler updates the CBM when the task is complete.

Task Manager

Listens to metric events that change the metric, such as new contract version and exceptions, and cluster changes. Forwards the change to the next component to deal with the requests.

Topology Manager

Listen to events that affect the resources structure, and forwards the events to the task manager.

Configure the ACE2 Monitor Tool

Configure the ACE2 Monitor Tool with the following options:

• To communicate with the JBOSS web service through a non-default port, update the ACE2 - monitoring_tool_port parameter.

  Default: 8280

• To change the page refresh interval, update the ACE2 - monitor_tool_interval.

Enhancements

New Functionality for Context Objects

Added the ability for context objects in the business logic to retrieve all related resources types for a give resource ID in a given time.

Improved Error Descriptions when Committing a Contract

Added information to the error descriptions when committing a contract.

Disabled Auto-complete at Login

The password no longer auto-completes when a user provides the username at login.

Adaptor Event ID Changes

When you create a managed adapter based on a configuration file, CA Business Service Insight replaces the event type id with an existing event type that has an identical structure.

Improve Error Description for Translation Script Execution

Added information to the error descriptions for errors that occur during translation script execution.

For example, when the translation script fails to execute a particular method, the error in the log contains the parameters of the function and the function name.
