The TUXEDO measure group contains the measure types related to TUXEDO service calls performed in a load-testing script. It provides response time and throughput ratings for the TUXEDO service calls issued by the functions Tux_tpcall, Tux_tpacall, Tux_tpsend, Tux_tprecv, Tux_tpgetrply, Tux_tpenqueue, and Tux_tpdequeue. For each TUXEDO service used in these TUXEDO functions, a measure group is created automatically with the name of the service as the key. The following table describes the corresponding measure types:
| Measure | Description |
|---|---|
| Response time | The response time, in seconds, for a TUXEDO service call. For synchronous service calls, the response time includes the time the server needs to process the call. For asynchronous service calls, Silk Performer reports the time that elapses between sending the request and receiving the reply, plus the time spent waiting for the request. Asynchronous service calls do not measure the time a server needs to execute the service. For send and request calls, Silk Performer measures the time for sending data across an open connection as well as the time for receiving data from an open connection. For queuing communication, both the time required for sending the service call to the queue and the time for retrieving the results of a service call are measured. |
| Request data sent | The amount of data (in KB) sent to the TUXEDO server for submission of a given service. Silk Performer measures the application data buffer size used by the service calls rather than the transferred bytes on the network. |
| Response data received | The amount of data (in KB) received from the TUXEDO server by a given service. Silk Performer measures the application data buffer size used by the service calls rather than the transferred bytes on the network. |
