Solution overview

SmartLink correlates end-to-end activities and provides information on your environment's performance. This information includes total response time broken down into AppTiers, and a complete cross-AppTier invocation tree for each transaction. This enables pinpointing the problematic activity in a specific AppTier that is causing poor performance in the transaction, and drilling down in context of that activity to the relevant Precise product, for further analysis and resolution.

...

The SmartLink user interface has two tabs: Activity and Flow. The Activity tab is the default tab that displays the response time breakdown of transactions in an application. The Flow tab displays the complete invocation tree of a specific transaction. Additionally, SmartLink data is available in the Insight user interface when switching to SmartLink is On mode.

About the SmartLink user interface within Insight

When SmartLink is activated with “SmartLink "SmartLink is On”On," a chart showing how the time of each AppTier relates to the total time, is displayed.

...

If you perform a drill down operation on the right pane, all AppTiers in Insight are affected. For example, if you perform a drilldown drill down (in Insight) on a Tuxedo service in theTuxedo the Tuxedo tab, and then switch to the Oracle tab, Insight will display a subset of the information (resulting from the drilldown drill-down operation).

The drill down operation also affects the graphs on the left pane. For example, if you drill down a Tuxedo service on the right pane, the graphs on the left pane will display a subset of the information (resulting from the drilldown drill-down operation).
