Ho Rohit   From what I gather, you need to put it in the place where it will always be used when starting the application   I believe adding the data to the System Env Variable, and/or registry should be the best way to do this.   Here is a video as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6HAwrlHbTs, which should guide you to what you need to do.    As always, test in non-production:)   Ciao ...

Hi, Can you share the content of you infraservice.bat file ?   Just remove any sensitive data if any       ... View more

Hi Rohit   Informatica PowerCenter uses the following for  https://knowledge.informatica.com/s/article/301535?language=en_US   Use the  INFA_JAVA_OPTS env variable to add the startup  parameters as well as add it to the registry configuration   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\InformaticaServiceName\Parameters   It seems you have to set both   Ciao ...

Hi Rohit   Can you share how you are adding the config to the  infaservice.bat file? And what OS you are using?   Ciao ... View more

Hi Wayne   Normally the parameters would show in the URL section.   The quickest way to check is to run a live preview on the Java Node, using the HTTP Requests section, to view live data coming into the system.   In this view you would be able to see the parameters, cookies & Headers for the live requests. as below     You can then use the Transaction Detection rules or Service Endpoints rules, to split out the transactions according to these parameters. If you wish to view them separately.   If the split according to parameters is more than 150-200, rather split them out in the Service Endpoints section.   Ciao ... View more

Hi Wayne   If these URL's are using basic URL parameters, you should at least see the full URL's e.g www.example.com/search?make=civic   A quick way to check is to navigate as follows From main application Screen, click on the relevant applictaion > Click on Configuration >> Click on Instrumentation >>> Click on Transaction Detection >>>>Click on the "Add +" and click Next and then Live Preview, it will give you an option to select a node, select one which has traffic   Once the screen loads, change the option from "Preview Business Transactions" to "Tools", which will default to "HTTP Requests".   Now just ensure that you can simulate to drive traffic to the application, it will show the incoming URL's being hit, click on them, and on the right it will show the Headers, Cookies and parameters.     If you find the parameters you require you can then use that to do one of 3 things   1. In the Instrumentation > Data collector section add them to be collected in the transaction snapshots. This will show these values in the collected snapshots when viewing them.   The next option depends on the amount of unique parameters you want to split on. As there is a limit on the number of Business Transactions for every application it's always best practice to rather split the servlets within Service Endpoints for tracking them seperately.   You can go to Instrumentation > Transaction Detection and use the split Transaction using parameter value, or you go to Instrumentation > Service Endpoints and again, split the servlets based on a parameter value   Ciao       ...

Hi Neha   Would you be able to provide more information?   The Java Agent is added to the startup of the Application it's instrumenting, so a server restart would not affect the agent, as when the application starts , the agent will start with it.   Can you validate that the Appdynamics Java Agent is still part of the Application Java Process, you can check using any command e.g ps aux | grep "javaagent".   It might be possible that the following occurred 1. Java Agent directory itself was removed, or permissions changed with patching 2. Server firewall turned on, blocking the Java Agent from communicating to the Controller 3. Application was patched, which removed the Java Agent startup parameters.   Ciao ... View more

Hi Wayne   What type of Java application are you referring to?   AppDynamics has the built in capability to collect the Parameters, headers & Cookies using the Data Collector section within the Controller.   This will work for most supported servlets, webservices etc.   Ciao ... View more
