Kursbeskrivning: IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.2 Performance and Tuning (Self-Paced)

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE SELF-PACED VIRTUAL COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

Self-paced virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule. You can stop and start a Self-Paced Virtual class as needed during the 60-day access period.

There is no live instructor for this course, so it may not be appropriate for students who require the guidance of a live instructor. In such cases, students should consider the alternative versions of this course:

• Classroom delivery: IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.2 Performance and Tuning (WB224
• Instructor-led online delivery: IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.2 Performance and Tuning (Remote Classroom) (VB224)

In this three-day instructor-led course, students learn the advanced skills needed to tune the runtime performance of IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.2.

It is often necessary to configure the WebSphere Process Server system beyond the default settings in order to improve runtime performance. For example, service component architecture (SCA) solutions with human task components may introduce a different performance bottleneck than one originating from solutions without human tasks.

In this course, students build on the WebSphere Process Server skills developed by completing either course WB221/VB221 (Administration of IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.2) or course WB126/VB126 (Administration of IBM WebSphere Process Server V6.1 with Application Server). This course starts by introducing a tuning checklist that lists the major WebSphere Process Server components and their associated configuration properties. Students learn about the various configuration parameters available to system administrators, and how knowledge of configuration settings is necessary for improving the runtime performance of WebSphere Process Server. The course provides students with server configuration hints and tips through in-depth discussions of each SCA component. Students also learn about the WebSphere Process Server capacity planning process.

Hands-on exercises reinforce lecture content, and students gain direct experience with WebSphere Process Server performance tuning techniques by working with the runtime performance of each binding type. The exercises also give students the opportunity to see a number of different configuration parameter settings as they navigate through the administration console. Finally, students are introduced to the Tivoli Performance Viewer, and learn how to use it to monitor the runtime performance of an SCA application.

After completing this course, students have a solid foundation in best practices for tuning WebSphere Process Server, as well as the skills to diagnose performance problems, such as Java memory issues.
