Connect Expert

The Connect Expert feature allows you to view real-time UDP data (EE workload for assigned ports and non-EE session connectivity) as well as monitor your sockets and the connectivity to all sessions running over TCP/IP in real time.

You can investigate further EE UDP data in the Enterprise Extender Expert report accessed from the EE link in the EE table. This report displays workload and throughput data for all EE assigned ports. The Enterprise Extender Expert report also provides access to the Thru24 EE Summary/Detail reports, which provide near-time EE throughput information, as well as the D NET,APING or RTP Route Test commands. You can view further UDP (non-EE) session connectivity data in the UDP report accessed from the UDP link in the UDP Sessions (non-EE) table. The UDP report shows workload and throughput information by UDP (non-EE) application name and port number.

From the Name or Port links in the TCP Sessions table, you can zoom in to any application/port or session to view details in the Port Workload/Port Details reports. The TCP Sessions table shows the number of bytes sent/received as well as a percentage comparison of the total bytes in/out to actual port usage, number of sessions, percentage of sessions attributable to the local port or application, number of sessions in a status other than established by port for each application, and the number of sessions in a Time-Wait or Closed status. From the Port Workload/Port Details reports, you can issue commands (depending upon your user authorization) such as Trace Route to analyze route data, Drop to terminate a session, or Ping to check device availability and response time. The number of bytes for the session indicates the amount since the session was started. The application may be Telnet, e-mail, or any other socket-attached OLTP application using the selected TCP/IP address space.

New data is gathered periodically at the Host according to the interval specified on the parameters to the started task. The data display at the workstation is automatically refreshed at the intervals set in Options. If you have not set Options, you can manually refresh the screen by clicking the Refresh button.
