Deprecated feature: The partitioning facility (WPF) feature is deprecated. You can configure partitioning with WebSphere eXtreme Scale.


Enable performance monitoring


Before you beginAs a rule, the cluster should be stopped prior to starting this example. Stop the cluster through the administrative console.


About this task

The following commands enable the PMI performance monitoring infrastructure, allowing the partitioning facility's (WPF) performance monitoring extensions to provide transaction status.

  1. Open a new command line interface, leaving the launchclient window used previously to exercise the server after the performance monitoring is initialized in this section.

  2. Execute all the remaining steps in this section in the new window.

  3. Once the new window is open, change to the deployment manager's home directory. Then, change directory to the bin directory to run the wpfadmin script.

  4. To monitor WPF, the H PMI level is required.

  5. Use:

    wpfadmin enableWPFPMI H --c cluster
    

    wsadmin -lang jython -f wpfadmin.pty enableWPFPMI H --c cluster
    WASX7209I: Connected to process "Deployment Manager" on node CellManager 
    using SOAP connector;  The type of process is: DeploymentMana
    ger
    WPFC0065I: Cluster set to cluster
    WPFC0043I: The wpfModule of PMI is enabled for cluster cluster 
    and set to level H.
    

This cluster should now be started. Use the administrative console to restart the cluster cluster_name. Now, you can track a particular transaction count for a specific bean instance.

The following command tracks the transaction count - the top 10 instances every 30 seconds.

wpfadmin subscribeWPFPMI cumulative TransactionCount 
WPFKeyBasedPartitionSample WPFKeyBasedPartition 10  30000 --c cluster

WPFC0040I: WPF PMI has been subscribed with options range=cumulative,

dPartitionSample, ejb name=WPFKeyBasedPartition, partition count=10, 
interval=30000
WPFC0041I: Your client id is 1. Use this in future wpfadmin PMI calls.

Note the client ID. It is the reference ID used to monitor this subscription. You now have the ability to actually begin active monitoring.

Before you can monitor, some existing transactions have to be completed. If not, the client application will report an error.

To ensure you have a valid transaction, run the launch client application as performed earlier. Without ensuring some transactions are completed, we will get the following error:

wpfadmin getTransactionCount --id 1 --top 15

To experiment further, use the active option rather than the cumulative option. Also, the launchclient command uses a -loop xxxxx parameter. After the PMI tracking is in place, the -loop option generates transactions against each partition endpoint in a looping manner, and the active transaction reflects how many new transactions occurred over a certain instance of time.

For example:

wpfadmin subscribeWPFPMI active TransactionCount WPFKeyBasedPartitionSample 
WPFKeyBasedPartition 10
30000 --c cluster

And the launch client command to loop:

launchclient c:\was\base51\installedApps\Cell\WPFKeyBasedPartitionSample.ear 
-CCproviderURL=corbaloc::<host>:<port> -loop 10000
