Performance tuning guidelines

 

Tuning is about utilizing resources to their fullest potential, resulting in the fastest request processing possible. Many components in WAS have an impact on performance and tuning is highly application-dependent. This section discusses how to identify bottlenecks, gives a practical introduction into analyzing them, and finally gives recommendations on settings for major WebSphere environment properties.

It is important to stress once again that performance tuning is not an exact science. Factors that influence testing vary from application to application, and also from platform to platform. This section is designed to provide a primer for the reader in a way that describes areas that can be tuned to increase performance.

The latest performance tuning information can be found in the WAS V5.1 InfoCenter, located at

Select the appropriate version of the InfoCenter you wish to read. Then navigate to the Tuning section in the contents pane on the left side.
