DX Application Performance Management

Hi Team,

I am preparing for the certification exam of CA Application Performance Management. I am facing doubt in the following question:

Q-1) You want to setup CA Introscope so that users are always using the most up to date version of the client. Which mechanism enable you to do this? (Mark any two)

A)    WebView

B)    Workstation

C)    Transaction Tracer

D)    Web Start Workstation

D is for sure, which is the other one?

Kindly provide an answer for this.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot Tanveer,

I more thing, in the following question:

Q-1) You need an instruction in your PBD to skip monitoring of all get() methods in a given Tracer Group. Which command will do this?

A)    SkipClass

B)    SkipClassForFlag

C)    SkipMethodForClass

D)    SkipMethodForFlag

Everyone is suggesting option A, but as it is asking for a given tracer group, I think its B. What's your opinion?

if this is asking to skip methods, the directive should be SkipMethod....

And a tracer group is defined by a flag: SetFlag: <tracer group>

So that leads me to point to SkipMethodForFlag - D

I can find very similar information here, hp0-j60exam.blogspot.co.uk, since this doesn't appear to be an official CA resource, I would definitely not rely on the answers there .

Hi David,

SkipMethodForFlag disables monitoring for a single method only. Here we need to skip monitoring of all get() methods, so the only option which seems correct to me among these is SkipClassForFlag. Your views on this?

Thanks for your response!

Well a Tracer Group is normally going to match more than one class by definition, else there isn't really any point using a tracer group.

So the way I read it is that for all classes identified in the tracer grouping, we don't want to monitor the get method in any of those classes.

If you use SkipClassForFlag, it's going to ignore the entire class - I think that would be used if you specify your tracer group class matching with IdentifyInheritedAs

There's a list of all of the possible values here:

ProbeBuilder Directives - CA Application Performance Management - 9.6 - CA Technologies Documentation

If you look at SkipMethodForFlag

SkipMethodForFlag - CA Application Performance Management - 9.6 - CA Technologies Documentation

Args: 2

Prevents the specified method(s) from being traced by the specified Tracer Group.

The expected syntax is "SkipMethodForFlag: <Tracer-group> <method>".

So I think it does match the requirement..

Got your point, SkipMethodForFlag is the correct option. Thanks a lot for the detailed clarification!
