TX Servers        (Summary)

DESCRIPTION
"TX Servers" displays the number of Transaction Servers available for executing 
transactions. Each Transaction Server is a system process. This datapoint also 
appears on the Sun MTP system's Overview Screen.


VALUES
The number of "TX Servers" is the number of Transaction Servers specified in 
the VCT.


INTERPRETATION
The number of "TX Servers" should be adjusted up and down until the right number
is found to efficiently handle a particular environment. Too many "TX Servers" 
waste system resources, while too few cause user response time to increase since 
processes are not readily available to handle user requests. The latter 
situation is further complicated by compute-bound applications.
