Enabling and Disabling Byte Code Inserted Probes Based on Transaction Monitoring Tokens

A computer program product in a computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising:

• first instructions for retrieving a token associated with the transaction, wherein the token contains information for identifying a set of transaction probes from a plurality of transaction probes associated with the primary application, wherein the set of transaction probes represents all transaction probes that are to be enabled with respect to the transaction;
• second instructions for reading the token to identify the set of transaction probes to be enabled;
• and
• third instructions for enabling the set of transaction probes.

A data processing system comprising:

• a bus;
• a memory operably connected to the bus, said memory containing a set of instructions,
• a processor operably connected to the bus, wherein the processor is adapted to execute the instructions to:
• retrieve a token associated with the transaction, wherein the token contains information for identifying a set of transaction probes from a plurality of transaction probes associated with the primary application, wherein the set of transaction probes represents all transaction probes that are to be enabled with respect to the transaction;
• read the token to identify the set of transaction probes to be enabled;
• and
• enable the set of transaction probes.
