CA Wily Tuesday Tip by Hallett German, Services Architect for 8/9/2011
APM Export Tool vs. Canned Reports
For the majority of APM users, the APM Customer Experience canned reports are more than adequate in presenting their application health. But for some
customers, they may need to consider using the APM Export Tool instead for the following situations.
- when needing custom percentiles for reports involving transaction time, size, and throughput. Currently, the canned report cannot customize
percentile values in reports.
- when statistical aggregations are needed for a selected time period.
- when specific defect information needs to be extracted.
- when custom graphs and reports need to be produced from the raw data.
- when data or statistics for a specific combination of time, business service/transactions, user groups, etc. are needed.
- when a custom report can be created by extending the export tool Java code.
If you haven't use the tool before, please take teh opportunity to do so. If you have, please respond to this tip with other uses of the tool.
