Consider when IIB is integrating external 'services' by making an HTTP call, or putting a message to JMS, for example.

In order to correlate messages sent to these external systems (when monitoring them) with IIB, the value in 'globalTransactionId' would need to be added as an http or jms header.

I would like to find out:
1. does IIB handle passing on globalTransactionId as 'the logical thing to do'?
or, more likely
2. how could this be achieved, without changing existing flows?

I'm working on a 'agent' using CMP for controlling monitoring, but I sense that #2 might need to add some kind of listener to IIB itself. Using Spring AOP, perhaps?

Fingers crossed that IIB does provide a way.

Regards, John

The global transaction id is a way of correlating event messages produced by the broker during the execution of a singular transaction. It's in no way connected to any application messages components.

Thanks Vitor.
I feared this could be the road block.

I think this situation exposes a current limitation of BTM, in that pulling together a business transaction where IIB calls outside services, is likely to have gaps in the transaction's overview, at the points where it invoked those services, which can't be filled in from their own monitoring in the absence of a common correlation id.

Seems to me that a truly global view of a bus txn that IIB is integrating, needs to find out what happened in any external services invoked - passing the globalCorrelcationId in transport header would handle that, for example.

Reqards, John

There's nothing wrong with including a GTN in the business payload... and using aggregation or collection to ensure that you know which responses from other systems belong to which transaction in IIB. Or if you can include the GTN in the data going out to the other systems and be sure they'll come back.

Only if you're not using IBM's Business Activity Monitor, which overcomes this limitation.

And negate the need to buy other IBM software to avoid the kind of development my most worthy associate describes. I'm sure IBM will build this into IIB just as soon as the BAM development team aren't looking.
