Phases and Job Steps
AppDynamics DEXTER has 4 phases:
| Phase | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Validation | Validate input, request and folder list of Applications |
| Extract | Data is retrieved from Controller(s) and Application(s) |
| Index | Data is converted into data warehouse format (mostly CSV files) |
| Report | Excel, Flame Graph and other reports are generated |
The phases run sequentially Validate->Extract>Index->Report.
The phases are broken out into multiple steps, also ran in certain sequence.
Some steps run multiple threads in parallel to speed things up.
Only Extract phase requires access to the Controller. Index and Report phase work on downloaded data.
Validates job file for validity Prompts for Controller credentials Connects to Controller(s) and retrieves list of Applications Chooses Applications from the list based on what is asked for in Job File Saves results in an expanded copy of job file in output folder called jobparameters.json
