Resource Definitions
the start of the transaction to its ending event and that originate from the
resources listed (required and additional).
If you find that BT Studio is not recognizing defined transactions, check your
resource definitions. Does the transaction definition refer to an event type that
does not match a resource type in the resource definition? If so, you must
define the appropriate type of resource.
You can define additional resources with parameters and without parameters.
Be sure to specify the Connection resource so that you can track server and
network time. You can also use the IgnoreEvents clause to omit the response
time of specified events from a transaction's reported response time.
Additional Resources without Parameters
The resource definitions in the additional section for Microsoft Outlook (and
other default rule sets) do not specify parameters, as follows:
additional
{
resource Windows { }
resource Outlook { }
resource Connection { }
}
This syntax allows you to define transactions using any Windows events, any
Outlook events, and any Connection events. Implicit in the definition of
additional resources is that they are from the same processes identified in the
require section. As such, there is usually no need to further qualify them.
When calculating response time for a transaction, Application Response
includes the response time of all events that occur from the start of the
transaction to its ending event and that originate from the resources listed
(required and additional).
Additional Resources with Parameters
When creating a resource definition for an application, if you specify
parameters for additional resources, then Application Response can monitor
transactions that use only the specified resources. You can also use
parameters with the IgnoreEvents clause to specify events to ignore.
Specifying additional resources without parameters acts as a wildcard to
monitor response time for all events that originate from a particular resource.
Consider the following example of a PeopleSoft rule set that uses additional
resources with parameters to help define transactions. In this case, the
