SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A STATIC MODEL MAP OF BEHAVIORS IN A MIDDLEWARE SYSTEM, FOR USE IN IDENTIFYING SYSTEM PROBLEMS

摘要

A system and method for providing a static model map of behaviors in a middleware system, for use in identifying system problems. In accordance with an embodiment, the system provides a view of the system, such as a middleware system, which allows for analysis of the various components involved, such that analysis of one component does not affect the analysis of a second component. Locations within the middleware system where a particular request spends its time before returning a response are broadly categorized into either “wait” or “execution” locations. Irrespective of which request calls a component, the components exhibit the same behaviors which affect the response time of the request serviced. These exhibited behaviors are static and can be predefined for different types of components and analyzed independently of each other. In turn the behaviors can be similarly classified as either “wait” or “execution”, each of which can be considered aspects of a component. Each aspect of a component must satisfy the same efficiency/inefficiency as defined by the requirements on the middleware system. An aspect that does not meet the criteria is considered a “problem aspect” and is analyzed further to find the cause of the problem.
