Service Level Agreement Rule Properties

Service Level Agreement Rule Properties

When you create or modify a rule, you define properties to determine the type, time frame, and conditions of the violation. If you do not have editing privileges for the rule, the properties appear in read-only mode.
The
Create SLA Rule
page contains the
General
tab and the
Rule
tab.

General Tab

The following table describes the properties in the
General
tab:

Optional. Textual description of the rule.
Show in Portal
Select whether to hide or display the SLA rule in the Partners Portal for the selected partner. If you select to display SLA rules, the three SLA rules with the greatest number of relevant events are displayed in the Partners Portal.
Partner and Account
Determines whether to apply the rule to all partners and accounts or to a specific partner and account.
You can choose from the following options:
  • All partners and accounts. Reports violations for all partners and accounts. The violations appear separately for each partner and account.

Event type
Type of the event for which to report violations. You can choose to report violations for all event types or for a specific event type. The event types appear according to the event types that you define on the

  • Number of events
  • Error rate (percent)

  • Average processing time (seconds)
  • Event processing time (seconds)
If the B2B Data Exchange developer created custom key performance indicators from event attributes, the custom indicators appear below the default key performance indicators.
Calculation level
Scope of the violation to report. You can choose from the following options:
  • Per single event. Reports violations as they occur in individual events. The SLA violation detector reports violations at the end of the next operational data store event load process according to the schedule that the B2B Data Exchange administrator defines.
