Performance tuning of the IBM WAS Admin Server

["Mike Cunningham" <mcunning@xxxxxxx>]

We are having very slow response when we are deploying applications in
the IBM WAS Admin Server. The apps are running fine once they are
deployed it's only when deploying the WAR files that we are seeing slow
response. Sometimes as long as 10 minutes to deploy and start a very
small application. Other times the response is not bad.  I have looked
around the I can find lots of material on tuning WAS for running
applications but not much on tuning the admin server. Does anyone have
any recommendations on tuning WAS Admin?  Do you run these jobs in their
own pool?  If so what jobs? 

 

p.s. model 520 - V5R3 - WAS 6 - 16GB RAM - 1.5GB in the system pool -
7GB in pool 2 where we run everything BUT interactive, batch, spool and
program compiles
