Each DRA ActiveView contains one or more rules, which apply to Active Directory (AD) objects managed by a DRA multi-master set. The ActiveView Analyzer Utility is used to monitor the processing time for each DRA ActiveView rule as it is applied to AD objects within a specific DRA operation. During a DRA operation, the DRA server compares the target objects of that operation against every rule in every ActiveView. DRA then creates a results list containing all matching rules. The ActiveView Analyzer calculates how much time was spent processing each rule as it is applied to a DRA operation.
With this information you can diagnose ActiveView issues by checking for anomalies with ActiveView processing time, including time spent processing on unused ActiveViews. The utility also simplifies finding duplicate ActiveViews.
After running a data collection and viewing a report, you may find it necessary to modify the rules of one or more ActiveViews.
You can access the ActiveView Analyzer Utility from any DRA Administration server. However, you should run the ActiveView Utility on the Administration server where you are experiencing the issue.
To access the ActiveView Analyzer Utility, log onto the Administration server with DRA Administration role privileges and navigate to NetIQ Administration > ActiveView Analyzer Utility from the Start menu. You can also launch ActiveViewAnalyzer.exe from the DRA installed path Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\DRA\X64.
Use this utility to perform the following:
Collect data on ActiveViews
Generate an analyzer report
Paul, who is an Assistant Administrator, notifies Bob, a DRA administrator, that creating users seems to be taking longer than usual. Bob decides to start the ActiveView analyzer on Paul’s user object and then has Paul create a user. After the collection, Bob generates an analysis report and notices that a rule named Share MBX takes 50ms to enumerate. Bob identifies the ActiveView that contains the rule and after changing the rule, observes that the problem is resolved.
