The following only applies if the database is connected over the IUTMDB interface, i.e. is does not apply to XA databases such as Oracle.
DB systems that do not run in UTM tasks can use the IUTMDB interface to notify openUTM of the resources utilized for processing DB calls. The usage values supplied by the DB system (CPU, I/Os) are stored in the accounting record in the accounting phase; see the section “Structure of an accounting record”.
These values are also supplied to openSM2. As the DB system may not be able to determine this data precisely, evaluation of the data is only possible to a limited extent for measurement purposes, although trends can be identified. The KDCMON event monitor can be used to record exact values from the DB system; see below.
In the accounting phase, the values are multiplied with the defined weights and added to the accounting unit counter; see the section “Structure of an accounting record”.
The usage values are supplied to openUTM by the DB systems SESAM/SQL and
UDS/SQL. SESAM/SQL only supply the usage values to openUTM if the gathering of accounting information is enabled in the DBH; see also the manual “SESAM/SQL Database Operation”.
