  • Patent number: 9037555
    Abstract: A transaction processing system that includes a communications bridge between clients and a transaction processing engine provides a way to correlate events associated with the communications bridge and events associated with the transaction processing engine. By passing a unique identification information with the transaction requests and response between the communications bridge and transaction processing engine and including the unique identification information in logging information created by each, a correlation utility may correlate logging information to create a more complete view of the events associated with a transaction, including end-to-end response times.

  • Patent number: 8407531
    Abstract: A technique for collecting and correlating locking data collects and correlates information on a plurality of programs waiting on or holding a plurality of resources in a multi-computer database system. The technique identifies a program executing on one computer of the multi-computer database system that is waiting on a resource. The technique also identifies a second program, executing on another computer, as the ultimate holder of the resource. An operator display screen displays information corresponding to the first program and the second program. The operator display screen may be switched between a multiline display format and a single line display format. The collection, identification, and display of the locking data is performed periodically, to allow the operator to discover locking problems and take a desired corrective action.
