Comparing the performance of message flows in an application

You can compare the performance of message flows in an application to identify the flows that might benefit from tuning, and to find out where any specific performance problems might exist.

Before you begin

About this task

You can use the web user interface to display snapshot accounting and statistics information about all the message flows in an integration node. The Flow comparison view shows statistical information relating to all message flows in the selected resource, which can be an integration node, integration server, application, or library. You can use this data to compare the performance of message flows with the performance of other message flows, enabling you to identify those that might benefit from tuning to enhance their performance in terms of resource usage, message flow throughput, and response times.

When you have identified a message flow that requires attention, you can use the Flow analysis view in the web user interface to see more specific statistical information about the nodes in the message flow. This data can help you to identify the aspects of the message flow that might be reducing the overall performance. For more information about the statistical information that you can use to understand the performance of your message flows, see Viewing message flow statistics and accounting data.

For information about the steps that you can take to optimize the performance of the message flows, see Identifying the cause of a slow message flow.

For more information about improving the performance of your message flows, see Tuning message flow performance, and for information about solving specific performance issues, see Troubleshooting performance problems.
