Abstract
A service process analyzing program, stored in a computer-readable medium, for identifying service transactions taking place between servers, particularly capable of discriminating between different transaction classes, including infrequent classes. A definite transaction finder identifies definite transactions by extracting a combination of messages having unique and definite call dependency between them. A transaction candidate builder extracts a plurality of combinations of messages including an unsettled message, thereby producing one or more transaction candidates. A candidate evaluator evaluates the likelihood of each transaction candidate, based on how many transactions of the same class have been identified as definite transactions or estimated transactions. A transaction estimator produces another estimated transaction by selecting one of the transaction candidates based on their respective likelihood scores.
