Managing Connections › Diagnose Throughput of Data Transfers

Diagnose Throughput of Data Transfers

By providing an evaluation of the characteristics that make up IP connections, the Transaction Path Analyzer lets you diagnose any throughput problems of data transfers. The characteristics that it evaluates are:

• The average data transfer rate between the IP server and IP client for the elapsed time from timed samples
• Response time
• Hop length
• Alert indicator

View End-to-End Throughput

By providing a view of end-to-end throughput times, the Transaction Path Analyzer supports the diagnosis of network and system performance.

To use the Transaction Path Analyzer

1. Enter TPA next to a connection on a general connection list.

   The Transaction Path Analysis panel appears for the selected connection.

   Note: The TPA action is not allowed on connections that do not have a foreign host, as indicated by the asterisk (*) in the Foreign Host column of any connection list.
