Reviewing the status

The Network Monitor context menus also have a Status option, which opens a Status Report dialog box.

The status report covers all the threads listed in the title bar of the dialog box, listing a separate report for each thread. By default, the Status Report dialog box opens to show the last report in the list.

To update the status report automatically, select Auto-update.

This table describes the reported parameters:
Parameter Description
Process The process name of the thread.
Connection The name of the thread (connection) for the current status.
Reported at The date and time of the status report.
Status The thread state at the reported time.
Started/Stopped The date and time that the thread was last started or stopped. This depends on the status.
Msg in The number of messages that are read by this thread from its protocol connection.
Last Rd The date and time that the messages were last read by this thread from its protocol connection.
Bytes in The number of bytes that are read in by this thread from its protocol connection.
Msgs out The number of messages that are written out by this thread to its protocol connection.
Last wt The date and time that the messages were last written out by this thread to its protocol connection.
Bytes out The number of bytes that are written out by this thread to its protocol connection.
Proto Info The number of connected clients for the TCP/IP and PDL TCP/IP protocols.
Proto Err The date and time of the last protocol error.
Error Msg The text message of the last protocol error.
Xlated The number of messages that are translated by this thread.
Pending The number of pending messages for this thread. For example, messages waiting to be delivered to a destination thread or outbound connection that is down.
Forwarded The number of messages that are forwarded to an alternate host, after the failure of all transmission retries to the primary destination host.
Failed The number of messages that were not delivered successfully.
IB Lat Inbound Latency. The number of cumulative seconds that this thread has taken to process inbound messages. This is recorded after the translation is complete and corresponds to the translation count (XLATECNT). This records the time period between message reception (for example, recovery, Tcl, IB protocol, and so on) and successful completion of the translation.
OB Lat Outbound Latency. The number of cumulative seconds that this thread has taken to process and deliver outbound messages. This is recorded after a message is successfully written before writing to SMAT, before SENDOK TPS is processed) and corresponds to messages out (MSGSOUT). This records the time period between successful completion of the translation and successful send. If a message never went through translation, for example, it was created in OB Data TPS, then this is the same time it was received/created.
Total Lat Total Latency. The total of inbound and outbound latency in seconds (cumulative). This is recorded after a message is successfully written before writing to SMAT, before SENDOK TPS is processed) and corresponds to messages out (MSGSOUT). This records the time period between message reception (for example, recovery, Tcl, IB protocol, and so on) and successful send.

Dividing these numbers by the number of corresponding messages that were processed yields the average message latency: in other words, the average time each message spent in the thread.

Sent The number of messages that are sent by this thread.
Recvd The number of messages that are received by this thread.
pxqd Pending Xlate Queue Depth. The number of messages (queue depth) that the thread has sent to its destination translation thread that have not yet been processed.
Xlt time The total number of seconds that are required to translate a message.
T on Q Time on Queue. The total number of seconds spent waiting on queues (T on Q). This is updated when the message is delivered, so T on Q values exist only for threads which have delivered messages. Compare this value to Total Lat to evaluate the amount of processing time versus the pending time.
Latency The total number of seconds that the thread spent on the same last message, from receipt to delivery.

Subtract "T on Q" from "Tot Lat" to find the processing time.

Thread name The name of the sending or receiving thread.
