Deprecated Extended Transactions

The intrusive Extended Transaction functionality will be deprecated in the near future


Extended Transactions are defined by the administrator over a web service proxy.

DPOD allows correlation between transactions across domains. This correlation is defined by means of a correlation id.
Examples of extended transactions include:

  • A DMZ DataPower relays a request into the LAN internal DataPower. The request transcends two machines and would have consists of two separate transactions. With a DPOD Extended Transaction, you can treat this operation as a single one.
  • An extended transaction may span domains inside a single DataPower machine or across several machines.

The following information is available for each extended transaction:

ColumnDescription

Service Name

The service this extended transaction ran on

Operation

The operation’s name for this extended transaction

Time

Timestamp for the extended transaction. This will be the timestamp for the last response within the extended transaction

Status

The status for the extended transaction. The possible values are

  • OK
  • INPROCESS
  • ERROR

Error Message

When the extended transaction completed in an error state, this column will hold the error message.

Client IP

The client IP of the machine (or load balancer) where this transaction started.

Elapsed (ms)

The number of milliseconds the extended transaction spanned.


Click the  icon to the left of an extended transaction to open a panel with the extended transaction’s correlation Id at the top, and extra information relating the single transactions comprising it:

ColumnDescription

Service Name

The service this transaction ran on. This may be the same service name listed for the extended transaction, or a different service name.

Rule

The type of the transaction within the extended transaction. The possible values are:

  • Request
  • Response
  • Error

Device Name

The device this transaction ran on

Status

The status for this transaction. The possible values are:

  • OK
  • INPROCESS
  • ERROR

Domain

The domain the transaction ran on

Time

Timestamp for the transaction.

Transaction Id

The Transaction id. Click on the transaction id to open a single transaction view for this transaction

Error Message

If the transaction ended in an error state, this column will hold the error message received. If the error message is too long, it will be abbreviated,
with an ellipsis at the end. Hovering over a abbreviated message will display the full message in a pop-up.

Elapsed (ms)

The number of milliseconds the transaction took.
