Monitoring Transactions
An end-to-end business-to-business document exchange flow corresponds to a transaction in Trading Networks. Irrespective of the type of documents, delivery methods, trading partner agreements used, a transaction is a neutral runtime aspect of a business-to-business document exchange flow in Trading Networks. You can search, view, and monitor transactions using the simple and advanced search capabilities.
To monitor the intermediate states within a transaction at a granular level, you can define a set of user statuses and update these either using a service during the course of the transaction or add or delete user statuses through Applications > Administration > Integration > B2B > B2B Settings > Transaction Settings > User Status Configuration.
Trading Networks gives you visibility into your network to track run-time information about the documents that your Trading Networks system has sent or received, delivery and service execution tasks that have been run or started, and activity log entries relating to the server. You can use My webMethods to query run-time information that Trading Networks has saved to its database.
The following table lists the run-time information you can view, along with the My webMethods pages to use to view the information:
