Usage Note 24550: How do I take advantage of the Application Response Measurement (ARM)?
The ARM API consists of definitions for a standard set of function calls that are callable from an application. SAS implemented the ARM API as an ARM agent. In addition, SAS supplies ARM macros, which generate calls to the ARM API function calls, along with ARM SAS system options manage the ARM environment and enable you to log internal SAS processing transactions.
You must determine the transactions within your application that you want to measure. The method for using ARM depends on what transactions you want to measure within your application:
- To log internal SAS processing transactions, you use the ARMSUBSYS= system option. This system option turns on the transactions that you want to log.
- To log transactions that you want to identify, you insert ARM macros into the application's code. This method offers the most flexibility because you can place the macros at strategic points in the application's code so that the desired transaction response time and other statistics that you want are collected.
For detailed information on SAS ARM macros, see the section “SAS ARM Macros” in
SAS® 9.1.3 Language Reference: Dictionary, Fifth Edition.
