Accessing and reviewing the Broker Performance View
The AppServer Operational views section allows you to display information about the AppServer broker's performance and the state of the broker's associated servers. Review this data frequently; these details can help you make informed decisions about your use of the broker and server pool controls as discussed earlier in this chapter.
To display and review AppServer Operational views information:
- Display the AppServer main page for the AppServer broker instance that you want to review. See the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section for the detailed procedure.
- Click in the Operational views section to display the AppServer Broker Performance View page. This page is comprised of data summary sections and graphs as shown:

Data summary sections
The summarized display-only text data on this page is comprised of two sections: Broker Requests and Client Connections. Data in both of these text boxes is determined when the page is initialized or refreshed:
- Broker Requests — Details about the AppServer broker's connection workload as identified in Table 4–7.
- Client Connections — Identifies the number of client connections that the broker is currently handling. Also, the total number of client connections this broker has processed since the broker started.
Graphs presentation section
The graphs presentation section of the Broker Performance View contains three graphs: AS Broker Request, AS Broker Activity Status, and Client Connections. Provided that data collection is set and the Trend option is selected, the graphically displayed data complements the summarized text data that displays on the AppServer Broker Performance View page. See the "Data collection details" section for details.
One display format for these graphs, as previously shown on the Broker Performance View page, is a line graph. This format measures how a particular broker-related activity has changed over a period of time. Table 4–8 identifies and briefly describes each of these graphs.
See the "Changing OpenEdge pinup graphical displays" section for details about changing the data appearance of graphs.
