ProTop Trends: Advanced Dashboard - Connections

What is this graph telling me?

This graph shows various types of connections to this database over time.

NOTE: Any given connection can have multiple properties, so the numbers do NOT add up to the "Total" you see in the chart. For example, a connection with a transaction could be a 4gl, batch, and blocked.  It will be counted in all four categories.

These metrics are the simple values at the indicated point in time (not per second or averaged).

 

Connection Type Description
4GL Server Number 4GL/ABL server connections to the database.
Broker Number of 4GL login brokers running.

SQL Server

Self-service Client Number of shared memory connections.

Remote Client

Number of non-shared-memory connections, or connections coming in over the network (4GL and SQL)
Batch Client Number of 4GL/ABL connections running in batch mode (running with the -b client startup parameter).
4GL Client Number of 4GL/ABL client connections.

APSV Client Number of Classic Application Server client sessions (not PASOE, coming soon!).
WTB Client Number of WebSpeed client connections.
Transactions Number of open transactions across all connection types.
