Measuring Transaction Performance Across Application Asynchronous Flows
First Claim
1. A method for identifying processing time of asynchronous transactions in applications running on an application server virtual machine, wherein the asynchronous transactions involve execution in one application component of a producer application component, sending a message into a recipient, and execution in a consumer application component, the method comprising:
- modifying a deployment descriptor of each application component of an application including at least one producer application component or consumer application component, by adding, for each producer application component or consumer application component, an application component identifier, a producer or consumer type, and a recipient identifier of a recipient the application component uses;
the application server virtual machine, when executing a transaction using a given application component, determining whether the given application component matches an application component identifier in the deployment descriptor of the givenresponsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of producer type, the application server virtual machine logging an identifier of a recipient containing a message sent by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution start time;
responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of consumer type, the application server virtual machine logging an identifier of the recipient resource containing a message processed by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution end time.

Abstract
A mechanism modifies a deployment descriptor of each application component including at least one producer application component or consumer application component, by adding, for each producer application component or consumer application component, an application component identifier, a producer or consumer type, and a recipient identifier of a recipient the application component uses. Responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of producer type, the application server virtual machine logs an identifier of a recipient containing a message sent by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution start time. Responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of consumer type, the application server virtual machine logs an identifier of the recipient resource containing a message processed by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution end time.

14. A computing device for identifying processing time of asynchronous transactions in applications running on an application server virtual machine, wherein the asynchronous transactions involve execution in one application component of a producer application component, sending a message into a recipient, and execution in a consumer application component, the computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; modify a deployment descriptor of each application component of an application including at least one producer application component or consumer application component, by adding, for each producer application component or consumer application component, an application component identifier, a producer or consumer type, and a recipient identifier of a recipient the application component uses; determine, by the application server virtual machine when executing a transaction using a given application component, whether the given application component matches an application component identifier in the deployment descriptor of the given application; responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of producer type, log, by the application server virtual machine, an identifier of a recipient containing a message sent by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution start time; responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of consumer type, log, by the application server virtual machine, an identifier of the recipient resource containing a message processed by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution end time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, the computer readable program for identifying processing time of asynchronous transactions in applications running on an application server virtual machine, wherein the asynchronous transactions involve execution in one application component of a producer application component, sending a message into a recipient, and execution in a consumer application component, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:
-
modify a deployment descriptor of each application component of an application including at least one producer application component or consumer application component, by adding, for each producer application component or consumer application component, an application component identifier, a producer or consumer type, and a recipient identifier of a recipient the application component uses; determine, by the application server virtual machine when executing a transaction using a given application component, whether the given application component matches an application component identifier in the deployment descriptor of the given application; responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of producer type, log, by the application server virtual machine, an identifier of a recipient containing a message sent by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution start time; responsive to determining a match exists and the given application component is of consumer type, log, by the application server virtual machine, an identifier of the recipient resource containing a message processed by the given application component, a correlation identifier of the given application component, and an execution end time. - View Dependent Claims (24)
