Monitoring and tuning Web services

To monitor a Web service, inspect its statistics. To tune it, adjust its properties. You can perform these tasks using OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or the WSAMAN utility. The following table lists the types of statistics gathered for a Web service.

Table 26. Statistics for a Web service
Statistic	Description
Number of Requests	Total requests handled by the Web service
Number of Active Requests	Requests currently being serviced
Number of SOAP Faults	Error returns by the Web service application
Number of Objects Not Found	Calls to unidentified Web service methods
Number of Errors	Total errors returned for requests to the Web service, with errors broken down for each of several error categories after the first error is reported
Number of AppServer Connections	Total AppServer connections being managed by this Web service
Number of Proxy AppObjects	Total AppObjects registered for all clients of this Web service
Number of Proxy SubAppObjects	Total SubAppObjects registered for all clients of his Web service
Number of Proxy ProcObjects	Total ProcObjects registered for all clients of this Web service

If the Web service uses a NameServer and is session free, the Web service has a connection pool, with properties you can adjust. If the Web service is session managed, it can be set to store multiple requests to the service or repeat them. In either case, for more information, see Reference to OpenEdge Web Service Properties and the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer online help.
