Resource Analyzer Overview

Since the Internet is now the medium of choice for disseminating enterprise information throughout many corporations, user and usage data is critical. This environment exposes systems to more access to more data by more users, placing increased stress on data warehouses, self-service applications, and corporate communications applications. Tuning applications for high performance, high availability, and fast response times is crucial.

Web access also causes the user base to grow exponentially, triggering a need to map changing usage patterns. Web administrators need information about who is accessing what data and when, through which applications, and how frequently, as well as information about the concurrency of user access. Resource Analyzer can help answer these questions and others by letting administrators analyze the performance of any WebFOCUS or iWay-enabled application. In addition to Web administrators, WebFOCUS developers, DBAs, and performance analysts will find Resource Analyzer crucial to decision-support analysis at their sites.

Resource Analyzer monitors data usage activity by collecting the attributes of requests and storing them in a set of Usage Monitoring tables. It automatically keeps track of each request, which data sources and columns it accessed, when it was run, how long it took, which resources it consumed, and more. Resource Analyzer allows you to report on, graph, and analyze end-user request traffic.
