Business transaction management (BTM), also known as business transaction monitoring, application transaction profiling or user defined transaction profiling, is the practice of managing information technology (IT) from a business transaction perspective. It provides a tool for tracking the flow of transactions across IT infrastructure, in addition to detection, alerting, and correction of unexpected changes in business or technical conditions. BTM provides visibility into the flow of transactions across infrastructure tiers, including a dynamic mapping of the application topology. Using BTM, application support teams are able to search for transactions based on message context and content – for instance, time of arrival or message type – providing a way to isolate causes for common issues such as application exceptions, stalled transactions, and lower-level issues such as incorrect data values. The ultimate goal of BTM is to improve service quality for users conducting business transactions while improving the effectiveness of the IT applications and infrastructure across which those transactions execute. The main benefit of BTM is its capacity to identify precisely where transactions are delayed within the IT infrastructure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Business Transaction Management Portal )〕 BTM also aims to provide proactive problem prevention and the generation of business service intelligence for optimization of resource provisioning and virtualization. A number of factors have led to the demand for the development of BTM software: * Modern applications have become more complex, modular, distributed, interdependent and sensitive to environmental conditions. * IT infrastructure has become a complex multi-tier (see multitier architecture) environment. * The rise of service-oriented architecture in systems development.〔S-Cube Knowledge Model: (Business Transactions in SOA )〕 * The proliferation of service level agreements. == Applications == BTM solutions capture all of the transaction instances in the production environment and as such can be used for monitoring as well as for analysis and planning. Some applications include: * Outage avoidance and problem isolation: Identification and isolation of tier-specific performance and availability issues. * Service level management: Monitoring of SLAs and alerting of threshold breaches both at the end-user and infrastructure tier level. * Infrastructure optimization: Modification of the configuration of data center infrastructure to maximize utilization and improve performance. * Capacity planning: Analysis of usage and performance trends in order to estimate future capacity requirements. * Change management: Analysis of the impact of change on transaction execution. * Cloud management: Track the end-to-end transaction flow across both cloud (private, hybrid, public) and dedicated (on-premises, off-premises) infrastructure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Business transaction management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
