HP-UX Workload Manager Toolkits A.01.08 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i V1 and HP-UX 11i V2

ODBTK WLM Oracle Database Toolkit provides an easy mechanism for feeding Oracle
database metrics into HP-UX WLM
ODBTK offers the ability to:
Keep response times for your transactions below a given level by setting
response-time SLOs
Increase an instance’s available CPU when a particular user connects to the
instance
Increase an instance’s available CPU when more than n users are connected
Increase an instance’s available CPU when a particular job is active
Give an instance n percent of the CPU for each process in the instance (This
feature is available only with HP-UX WLM Version A.01.02 and later.)
Give an instance n percent of the CPU for each user connection to the
instance (This feature is available only with HP-UX WLM Version A.01.02
and later.)
PPUTK The WLM Pay Per Use Toolkit has been deprecated.
A simpler, more robust solution is available using wlmpard. For more information,
see the section “HOW TO USE wlmpard TO OPTIMIZE TEMPORARY INSTANT
CAPACITY AND PAY PER USE SYSTEMS” in the wlmpard(1M) man page.
SASTK WLM SAS Toolkit provides enhancements to DMTK specifically for SAS users
SASTK offers:
A SAS macro for instrumenting jobs to provide percent complete data to
WLM for improved duration management
Example scripts showing how to manage the duration of SAS jobs
SNMPTK WLM SNMP Toolkit provides a data collector called snmpdc that fetches values
from an SNMP agent for use as metrics in your WLM configuration. For more
information, see snmpdc(1M).
SNMPTK offers the ability to retrieve metrics from sources such as:
PRM data
Pay Per Use data
for use in your WLM configuration.
WebLogicTK WLM BEA WebLogic Server Toolkit provides a data collector called wlmwlsdc
that tracks metrics indicating how busy WebLogic Server instances are.
WebLogicTK offers the ability to:
Manually provide a single instance an increasing amount of CPU resources
in the form of a dynamic PSET (processor set) for benchmarking
Separate an instance from other workloads, as well as from other instances,
while automatically maintaining performance using a dynamic PSET based
on:
Group CPU usage
Server instance queue metrics
For more information, see wlmwlsdc(1M) and the white paper Using HP-UX
Workload Manager with BEA WebLogic Server, which offers various use cases.
