Question by Amit S. · Oct 03, 2014 at 02:35 PM · business transaction

How are business transactions detected?

I would like to understand how does dynatrace detect business transactions? 

The application I want to integrate dynatrace with is a java ee based web application. If dynatrace detects business transactions through browser url change, then it might not work for us. Our application is architectured such that the browser url does not change when the user navigates and browses different features of our application.

By default dynaTrace detects BTs based on the URL. But - dynaTrace provides a very cool way to define your own Business Transactions. You can basically use whatever context data your have on the PurePath to define your Business Transaction. One good example would be certain HTTP Parameters, or maybe a method argument on the serverside.

So - long story short: You can define your own Business Transactions and do not need to rely on the out-of-the-box configured BT.

Here is more information on Business Transactions: Dynatrace for Business

There are some recorded YouTube Webinars that you can also look at:

  • dynaLearn Webinar - Business Transactions Best Practices - April 26, 2012
  • dynaLearn Webinar - Advanced Business Transactions - June 27, 2012

And a blog that explains what Business Transactions are for us: http://apmblog.compuware.com/2011/10/31/business-transaction-management-explained/
