ABSTRACT:
A system and method for performance monitoring of transactions which involve an application which normally operates in exception response mode. A network performance monitor sets information in memory regarding applications and resources for which performance data is sought. The applications are modified so that they check the appropriate locations in memory during the processing for each transaction to check whether the mode should be switched to definite response mode for that transaction. If so, the application switches to definite response mode, thereby causing a definite response path information unit to be sent by the resource following the resource's reception of the outbound path information unit from the application. The network performance monitor monitors the passage of these messages through a communication access means which operates the network. The network performance monitor uses the passage time of each message to obtain performance time for the given transaction relative to the given resource and at the application. Following the completion of each transaction, the application can return to exception response mode so that the definite response message will only be sent from the resource when performance monitoring is occurring, thereby reducing network overhead.
