IZ06569: WRM FAILS TO DETECT AND REPORT URLS UNLESS KFC_HTTP_OUTPUT_UNMERGED_OBJECTS IS SET TO 'Y'

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• WRM fails to detect and record URLs such as the following if
  KFC_HTTP_OUTPUT_UNMERGED_OBJECTS in not set to 'Y'.
  
  
  From DY:
  The issue at hand is that many different types of URL pages are
  not recognized as page object by the Analyzer, therefore, no URL
  response time reported.
  
  Years ago, only WEB displayable object is HTML pages. The
  Analyzer limits page object qualification because of there are
  many embedded objects and customers do not want them reported
  individually. Today, various WEB objects have proliferated and
  many of them become useful in customer WEB  response time
  management.
  
  The analyzer mainly uses the HTTP content-type specification for
  object determination and now there are hundreds of them defined.
  Aside from certain page identification, such as text/html MINE
  type, it would be reasonable to allow customers to specify
  particular MINE type of interest and instruct Analyzer to treat
  them as page so that they became eligible for embedded object
  merge and output. The new KFC_HTTP_CUSTOM_PAGES parameter
  accomplishes this flexibility. For example,
  
  KFC_HTTP_CUSTOM_PAGES=application/pdf,application/x-shockwave-fl
  ash
  
  enables pdf and shockwave file output as page objects for
  output. This will help many customer requirements such as
  supporting XML, ASPX, and others scenarios.
