How to manage WebSphere application servers

Overview

The WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is the infrastructure software of the Internet, which is what we call middleware. It enables organizations to develop, deploy, and integrate next-generation e-business applications, such as business-to-business electronic transactions, and support business applications from simple WEB Publishing to enterprise-class transactions. was to change the way companies manage relationships between customers, partners, and employees. For example, you can increase the amount and quality of data transferred by your site, thereby dramatically improving the performance of your Web applications, combining extended applications with mobile devices, enabling sales teams to provide faster service to customers, or building electronic markets to reduce the cost of resource acquisition.

The platform is based on the WebSphere application Server, which has three editions and has a specialized configuration designed to meet your most stringent business needs. It is driven by a simple Java engine that allows you to easily migrate applications to different platforms when requirements change.

Standard Edition: Quickly convert a static Web site into a vibrant dynamic site by using servlet, JavaServer Page, and XML.

Advanced Edition: Servers that contain high-performance enterprise Java Bean components.

Enterprise Edition: The integration of EJB and CORBA technology, to build a high flow, large capacity of E-commerce applications to provide a reliable guarantee.

Based on the core position of the application server in the enterprise, how to ensure its normal and efficient operation becomes very important. Applications running on WebSphere application servers can be a performance issue at any time, and it is a challenge to intelligently analyze these issues. When the key Java EE business application problems, the system and server administrators need to identify the cause of the problem as soon as possible. Using the built-in management console for manual analysis is very inconvenient, and requires a large number of application server expertise, and traditional monitoring software in the monitoring of WebSphere has a great disadvantage: can not monitor the depth and breadth of the monitoring is not clear; ; You cannot monitor the cluster of WebSphere application servers.
