Composite Application Monitoring for WebSphere
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere helps increase the performance and availability of business-critical applications by providing real-time problem detection, analysis and repair.
With IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere, Correlation spanning J2EE, CICS and IMS, and diagnostics at the method level can pinpoint code problems to help quickly resolve problems and reduce support and operations costs.
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere (ITCAM for WebSphere) is an application management tool that helps maintain the availability and performance of on demand applications. It helps organisations pinpoint, in real time, the source of bottlenecks in application code, server resources, or external system dependencies. ITCAM for WebSphere also provides detailed reports that can be used to enhance the performance of applications.
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere helps organisations:
- View all J2EE transactions that are “in-flight” (i.e., that have not finished execution)
- Drill-down into the details and profile of any single transaction to uncover the root cause of bottlenecks
- Perform detailed memory analysis to understand how applications behave
- View key performance metrics in user appropriate workspaces
- Correlate and profile transactions that span multiple subsystems
- Isolate the failure at any place along the transaction’s path
- Correlate transactions spanning J2EE, CICS and IMS with the optional CICS and IMS data collectors
- Analyze application performance utilizing trend or historical analysis
- Understand resource consumption patterns and plan for future growth
- Set resource or application traps
- Simplify application management throughout the lifecycle whilst ensuring high availability and performance
- Detect and remedy potentially troublesome situations
- Manage server groups and accounts to restrict data according to user roles
ITCAM for WebSphere also provides key performance metrics to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal to help operations and support teams spot trends and potential delays before end-users are affected. It can also exchange information with IBM Rational tools to help developers understand the performance of applications in an actual production environment.
Business Benefit:
- Simplify management throughout the lifecycle of complex IBM WebSphere-based J2EE applications that span multiple subsystems
- Detect, analyse and repair WebSphere performance issues in production and test environments, using real-time and historic data to maintain high levels of uptime and responsiveness
- Isolate bottlenecks through correlated tracing of composite transactions that span J2EE and back-end systems such as IBM CICS and IBM IMS
- Create reports that deliver insight into performance trends through deep-dive analytical views at the application, transaction, server or instance levels
- Use memory analysis tools to perform deep-dive analysis and facilitate resolution
- Integrate with other IBM rational Eclipse-based developer products to provide live performance data from production directly to the developer desktop – and thereby enable operations and development to work closely together
