Shannon, the "Performance considerations" link from
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/websphere/express/indexexp61.html
or whatever version you choose from
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/websphere/
may be helpful.
Note the performance advisor wizard in WAS v6.
InfoCenter topics include:
"Planning for performance
How well a Web site performs while receiving heavy user traffic is an
essential factor in the overall success of an organization. This section
provides online resources that you can consult to ensure that your site
performs well under pressure.
Taking advantage of performance functions
This topic highlights a few main ways you can improve performance
through a combination of product features and application development
considerations.
Obtaining performance advice from the advisors
Tuning WebSphere Application Server is a critical part of getting the
best performance from your Web site. But tuning WebSphere Application
Server involves analyzing performance data and determining the optimal
server configuration. This determination requires considerable knowledge
about the various components in the application server and their
performance characteristics. The performance advisors encapsulate this
knowledge, analyze the performance data and provide configuration
recommendations to improve the application server performance.
Therefore, the performance advisors provide a starting point to the
application server tuning process and help you without requiring that
you become an expert.
Tuning the application serving environment
Start here for a summary of key performance tuning parameters. This
topic describes how to tune various aspects of the application serving
environment, such as the operating system, database connections, and
application server Java virtual machine."
My only experience with these tools is on a lightly loaded demo
system... it would be interesting to know if you find them useful!
