A service level agreement (SLA) defines business requirements between an organization and customers or between different departments in an organization. SLA requirements apply to properties of transactions that B2B Data Exchange processes, such as event processing time or error rate.
You create rules to manage and track compliance with service level agreement requirements. The SLA violation detector searches the operational data store and reports violations based on key performance indicators that you select when you define the rule. Key performance indicators (KPIs) provide measurable information about events, such as average processing time or number of events.
You can use SLA tracking and management if the B2B Data Exchange administrator installed the Dashboard and Reports component.
