The Backends node of the metric browser tree contains a node for each backend, including those automatically detected by Introscope, or marked explicitly as a backend during ProbeBuilding.
Backends are most commonly a database, but may be any external system such as a mail server, a transaction processing system (such as IBM CICS or BEA Tuxedo), or a messaging system (such as MQSeries).
The backend name is a concatenation of the Oracle SID string, the database host and port delimited by a hyphen, and the string (Oracle DB),
same as
DB/2
Microsoft SQL Server etc.
