Description

We can observe the processing of SOAP requests within TIBCO Statistica Scoring Engine (Live Score) with a simple tool from Microsoft. It helps us to understand the time it takes for our engine to process individual SOAP requests or requests on average.

This low-level trace report can later be used in combination with Live Score Performance monitor for troubleshooting scoring performance issues.
