Problem:
I searched into the documentation but i do not completelly understand how to deal with applications in combination with business transactions,
------------------------------------------.
APPLICATIONS
Situation:
I have a load test environment, i need to perform load testing for two teams (R&D + hosting),
also i need to test for each team two product versions / day. (4 test / day)
Example: Load test component: WebServer
I have a few web services running into IIS (/team/test), each item has an application pool.
FT_RND (R&D team, fieldtest version)
FT_ASP (Hosting team, fieldtest version)
PR_RND (R&D team, production version)
PR_ASP (Hosting team, production version)
Purpose:
Create applications for a single webservice (= FT_RND/FWS, FT_RND/IWS, FT_ASP/FWS, FT_ASP/IWS, ...)
Create applications for a group of webservices (= FT_RND, FT_RND, FT_ASP, FT_ASP, ...)
Create applications that contain all webservices
Create dashboards (business transactions) for all the applications, example show all web calls for FT_RND/FWS application.
In fact i try to make a new relic dashboard into Compuware (we changed to Compuware recently).
It is possible into new relic to choose a product component or product group and view stats on that.
I taught i needed the Compuware application feature to do that.
New relic:
----------------------------------------------------------------
How did i try to do this?
Create application, Filter on URL part (single webservice / group) to create applications,
Example: Group on PR_RND (all webcalls from R&D production version)
Queston:
Dynatrace forced me to create a business transaction, what is the reason for that?
To know in what way to present all the calls when i double click on application? Example split calls on soap action? (just trying to understand things)
Some applications does not contain requests?, example PR_RND_FWS has no data but it is a part of PR_RND which has data?
Queston:
Do i need to use application url filter?, can i not just use a business transaction (example split request on first url tag, sensor, ...)
to create applications ?
Extra example:
I need a application for a WCF web service which works as a service (accessible through tcp),
the entry point is a dynatrace sensor, so i need to create an application based on a business transaction (with sensor).
-----------------------------------------------------------
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
When i create a business transaction, i see a defined application name,
Correct?
Business transaction are always executed on applications,
(i remember once a report with web call A & application A + web call A & application B (i had all de calls double))
So i fact i can create dashboards and the user just selects the aplication by using the filter symbol.
I guess i do not completely understand how to work with applications in relation to business transactions or otherwise,
Thx

Hi,
Just to address one issue: Applications are completely independent configurations from a dynaTrace Perspective. Transactions cannot overlap both PR_RND_FWS and PR_RND. What you need to do is one of the following:
Let me know if and how much this helps. You may also want to consider getting some Enablement Services hours to help architect your monitoring configuration/deployment.

Can you give me the documentation url releated to the managing of applications?
