Alphabetical Listing - C Language Utility Functions

## Arguments

Name | Comments
--- | ---
trans_handle | A transaction handle.

The lr_get_trans_instance_think_time function returns the think time of the specified transaction until this point.

The difference between this function and lr_get_transaction_think_time is that with this function you specify a transaction instance by its handle. With lr_get_transaction_think_time, you specify an independent transaction by its name.

The trans_handle is the handle returned by the call to lr_start_transaction_instance that created the instance.

The lr_get_trans_instance_think_time function returns values greater than zero only for open transactions.

To determine other transaction statistics, such as think time and wasted time, use the appropriate Transaction Functions.

## Return Values

If this function succeeds, it returns the transaction think time. If it fails, it returns a negative number. If the transaction already ended or if data is not available for the specified transaction, it returns 0.

## Parameterization

You cannot use standard parameterization for any arguments in this function.

## Example

In the following example, the lr_get_trans_instance_think_time function gets the think time of a transaction instance, and sends it to the Output window.

Copy code

    long child_handle;
    double trans_time;
    int rc;
    /* Start the main transaction instance. Passing 0 as the parent handle indicates that the
        transaction has no parent. The function return value is the handle used in other
        transaction instance functions. */
        child_handle = lr_start_transaction_instance("ParentTransaction",0);
        /*Perform the business process, represented here with a single web_url call. */
        web_url("web_url", "URL=http://www.ABC.com",LAST );
    // Get the transaction instance time.
        trans_time = lr_get_trans_instance_think_time(child_handle);
        lr_output_message
        ("Instance think time is %lf seconds.", trans_time);
