Abstract:
1. A method for determining capacity in complex systems by setting capacity values for service transaction types that assist in identifying performance bottlenecks comprising: listing the service transaction types; identifying Workflow Manager (WFM) data where invocation data records for each of the service transaction types are located; retrieving the WFM data; parsing the WFM data to acquire the invocation data records for each of the service transaction types; for a given transaction type; wherein the RTM (x) models the average response time RT h of a specific function for a given load (x) as the sum of the sojourn time in each service node required to process the function, wherein z 0 is the expected amount of time to traverse non-bottlenecked nodes, z 1 is the expected amount of time to traverse a bottleneck node under no transaction load and z 2 is the average amount of time of a bottleneck node per transaction type; that the complex system can handle;
