ApplicationVantage

ApplicationVantage is the premier troubleshooting solution in the marketplace today for addressing application transaction performance concerns. It helps find and fix application performance and infrastructure problems in production and pre-production. By providing detailed troubleshooting insight, ApplicationVantage pinpoints and corrects the causes of poor end-user response times wherever they reside—client workstations, the network, a server or even the application itself—thus, eliminating time-consuming guesswork. In addition, ApplicationVantage helps ensure new applications rollout successfully the first time around and provides crucial information for establishing and meeting service requirements.

Understand and easily communicate problems

With ApplicationVantage, it's easy to obtain the answers to key questions such as:

• What's causing poor performance? Is the desktop, network, server or application causing the slowdown?
• What changes will provide the most improvement to response times—more bandwidth, tuning the application or more CPU power?
• What kind of performance can I expect from the new application when it is put into production?
• How can I ensure new applications will meet service agreements and end-user needs?

To troubleshoot application performance problems effectively in today’s complex distributed application environments, IT professionals need a complete picture of the problem so that business can be restored as quickly as possible. ApplicationVantage provides numerous analyses and reports to help network administrators and other IT professionals understand a distributed application’s behavior and performance dependencies.

The Thread Analysis, for example, provides an easy way to understand the files or commands an application sends over the network in a single transaction, such as Java commands, SQL statements or HTTP commands. It also provides insight into the time and duration of a thread and the relationships between threads. Optional decode modules analyze specific database and middleware commands to isolate performance problems.

Thread Analysis for Java, SOAP and Oracle With ApplicationVantage’s Thread Analysis report, you get a complete picture of a transaction’s performance, which helps speed up the problem resolution process.

 

Thread Analysis supports:

• Databases: Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, Informix and IBD UDB (Version 8 and above). All databases require separate modules.
• Middleware: IBM WebSphere MQ
• Web-based applications: Web services using Java (RMI/IIOP) and Java scripts, SOAP, XML, HTTP, HTML, NNTP, JPEG/GIF files, SMTP and POP3.
• Others: DCOM, SSL, NTLM, Microsoft Networking (SMB), Citrix (packet-level decodes), Generic SQL, Novell NCP, NFSv2 and RPC.

ApplicationVantage's report templates allow users to summarize application performance problems and post reports to the web. This allows IT departments to communicate more effectively to address problems and issues.

Reports available with ApplicationVantage include:

• Performance Overview—provides a graphical overview of the transaction
• CNS Breakdown—provides a quick summary of transaction performance
• Thread Analysis—provides performance details of the components of a transaction
• Network Utilization and Transit Time—aids in the understanding of the burstiness of an application
• Bounce Diagram—helps developers understand if the network is delaying delivery of the packets
• Error Analysis—shows how network errors affect performance.

Reports can be exported to Microsoft Word.

Performance Overview The Performance Overview provides a summary of how the transaction is behaving. It helps determine if a performance problem is due to the client, the network, a server, or the application itself.

CNS Breakdown The versatile CNS breakdown allows the user to quickly identify the most significant contributor to poor performance.

Error Analysis The Error Analysis allows you to see the impact that network errors, such as retransmissions, are having on transaction performance.
