Business Application Names

You can group IP connections and define them with a business application name. The Packet Analyzer detects and examines all IP connections for each monitored stack, and groups them into your business application name.

Multiple groupings can be defined with the same business application name. The definitions are sequenced as a set of rules. The first rule that satisfies the connection criteria determines the name to which the connection belongs.

If you set up CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP to monitor IP, FTP, and Telnet application workload, the monitoring attributes are qualified by the business application names that you add.

The business application name is then used to describe the IP connections on the following:

By grouping your connections and workload data in this way, you can produce more meaningful reports. You can also raise an alert for a business application name.

Note: Connection events are recorded in the event history data set (IPLOG) or written to the activity log, as specified in the IPEVENT Customizer parameter group. For more information, see the Administration Guide.

Important! To record connection events and group them into business application names, you must ensure that your server is set up to generate SMF records. For more information, see the Installation Guide.
