Enabling response time breakdown collection

You can enable response time breakdown collection to see how much time is spent in each part of the application as it runs.

Before you begin

To collect response time breakdown, the data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured, and running on all computers that are used in the distributed application under test. To learn how to install and configure the data collection infrastructure, see the Installation guideInstallation of Rational Performance Tester and Configuring the data collection infrastructure. If you enable response time breakdown collection for a test and the remote computers are not running the data collection infrastructure, the following error is displayed: IWAY0159E The data collection infrastructure does not appear to be running on hostname. Please ensure that it is running and try again.
