Abstract
This redbook will help you to design and configure WebSphere Application Server V3.02 for AIX, Solaris, and Windows NT for better performance. The main tuning objectives for WebSphere are to improve performance, response time, and resource utilization.
This redbook gives some general recommendations and describes specific tuning methodologies. It provides hints and tips on the various factors and variables that can enhance the performance of WebSphere including AIX networks and IBM HTTP Server performance tuning. We introduce performance test tools and monitoring tools. WebSphere tuning methodology examples are included. This redbook also contains an overview of WebSphere Site Analyzer. We also provide a performance tuning guide for AFS, which is a part of WebSphere Performance Pack.
Some knowledge of WebSphere Application Server V3.02, DB2 UDB, and AIX are assumed. Note that in this redbook we will not discuss the basic configurations of WebSphere, DB2 UDB, or AIX.
