• Application

To provide this evaluation, the Transaction Path Analyzer performs the following actions:

• Monitor the IP network for the client.
• Check the responsiveness of the Telnet server.
• (CA NetMaster NM for SNA required) Monitor the SNA session for application and network response time.
