You can view SOAP transport metrics by using the SOAP transport metrics for ABL Application <ABL application name> WebApp <webapp name> page.

To view SOAP transport metrics:

  1. Click Resources > Go to Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
  2. Filter or search for, and select the required PAS for OpenEdge instance.

    For example, type the default PAS for OpenEdge instance name, oepas1, in the Filter field or select Progress Application Server as the selection in the Type drop-down menu and select the PAS instance.

    The Progress Application Server: <instance name> page appears.
  3. Click an ABL application listed in the ABL Applications section.
    The ABL Application: <ABL application name> page appears.
    Note: The OpenEdge manager web application, oemanager, must be installed on PAS for OpenEdge for you to manage OpenEdge ABL applications and transport services while the PAS for OpenEdge instance is running.
  4. Click an ABL Web application listed in the ABL WebApps section.
    The ABL WebApp: <webapp name> page appears.
  5. Click Metrics in the SOAP Transport section.
    The SOAP transport metrics for ABL Application <ABL application name> WebApp <webapp name> page appears. You can view the following metrics:
    Table 1. SOAP Transport Metrics
    Metric Metric type Description
    Access Time - The date and time at which the metrics have been retrieved
    Active requests Count The number of active requests made to the SOAP transport
    Average total time Time The average of the times spent in making a request to the AppServer via the SOAP transport and in returning a response from the AppServer by the SOAP transport
    Http request errors Count The number of HTTP requests made that are incorrectly formed
    Http requests Count The number of requests made that are not related to Web Services Description Language (WSDL) or SOAP
    Last Reset Time - If you click Reset, this field displays the date and time at which you have reset the metrics for the service. When the metrics are reset, the Last Reset Time field is updated.
    Maximum total time Time The maximum value of the times spent in making a request to the AppServer via the SOAP transport and in returning a response from the AppServer by the SOAP transport
    Method not allowed errors Count The number of errors raised due to HTTP method requests that are not supported by the OpenEdge Web Services Adapter (WSA).
    Note: WSA supports only the HTTP GET and POST methods.
    Minimum total time Time The maximum value of the times spent in making a request to the AppServer via the SOAP transport and in returning a response from the AppServer by the SOAP transport
    Requests Count The total number of requests (successful or failed) made to the SOAP transport for access to the AppServer
    Service disabled Count The number of WSDL or SOAP requests that have been denied because the WSDL or SOAP services are disabled by the administrator
    Soap processor errors Count The number of SOAP requests that have failed due to an internal SOAP processor-related error
    Soap requests Count The number of SOAP requests made to the AppServer
    Standard deviation total time Time The standard deviation of the times spent in making a request to the AppServer via the SOAP transport and in returning a response from the AppServer by the SOAP transport
    Start Time Count This field displays the number of failed administration and SOAP requests. These failed requests are caused due to an internal SOAP processor-related error.
    Status requests Count The number of requests made for the status of the SOAP transport
    Successful soap requests Count The number of requests for which the AppServer has sent a successful response
    Type - This field displays the service type for which the metrics are collected.
    Url not found errors Count The number of HTTP requests to a URL path that is not supported by the SOAP transport
    Wsdl requests Count The number of requests made for retrieving the WSDL document
    Note: If the collectMetrics property is not set in the openedge.properties file, only the Access time, Last reset time, and Type metrics are collected.

    You can reset the time and count values of SOAP transport metrics to zero by clicking Reset statistics. The Last Reset Time field is updated when the statistics are reset.

    Additionally, you can see PAS SOAP WebApp Requests Rate and PAS SOAP WebApp Active Requests graphs that display the request data over time and active requests, respectively. Using the options on the top-right corner of the graph, you can select a time period, ranging from 2 hours to 2 weeks, to display the data collected for that period of time, reload the graph, and select different forms of graphical interpretation.
