WebSphere request metrics support the Open Group ARM 4.0 Standard, as well
as the Tivoli ARM 2.0. The 4.0 standard is supported in all components. For the
Tivoli standard, WebSphere Application Server V7.0 supports all components
except Web server plug-ins. A correlator can be extracted from request metrics
transactions. This correlator can be passed to sub-transactions taking place in
non-WebSphere containers. This facility allows the complete transaction to be
accurately timed in complex environments.
