Abstract
This IBM Redbooks publication provides a high-level overview of what is needed to set up a z/OS configuration in an e-business environment. It consolidates some of the tuning information for the WebSphere Application Server and z/OS operating system environments in one place.
In addition, since system environments change over time and you need to proactively prevent performance problems in today’s e-business world, it covers aspects of monitoring your system’s performance.
This publication represents an introductory work on this subject, so to guide your further understanding we reference other IBM Redbooks, Web sites, and IBM documentation that contain more detailed pieces of the overall picture of what is needed to successfully set up and tune the WebSphere Application Server and supporting z/OS operating system.
