  • Number of messages processed
  • Minimum, maximum, and average message sizes
  • Number of threads available and maximum assigned at any time
  • Number of messages committed and backed out
  • Accounting origin
Thread statistics
One record is created for each thread assigned to the message flow. Each record contains the following details:
  • Thread number (this has no significance and is for identification only)
  • CPU and elapsed time spent processing messages
  • CPU and elapsed time spent waiting for input
  • Number of messages processed
  • Minimum, maximum, and average message sizes
Node statistics
One record is created for each node in the message flow. Each record contains the following details:
  • Node name
  • Node type (for example MQInput)
  • CPU time spent processing messages
  • Elapsed time spent processing messages
  • Number of times that the node is invoked
  • Number of messages processed
