Integrating with BEA WebLogic Server
WLM can help you manage and prioritize WebLogic-based workloads
through the use of the WLM BEA WebLogic Toolkit (WebLogicTK), which
is part of the freely available product WLM Toolkits (WLMTK).
Why use WebLogicTK?
Using WLM with WebLogic you can move CPU resources to or from
WebLogic Server instances as needed to maintain acceptable
performance. By managing the instances’ CPU resources, the instances
will tend to use less net CPU resources over time. You can then use the
additional CPU resources for other computing tasks.
As indicated previously, WLM and WebLogicTK control CPU allocation
to individual WebLogic instances. However, the latest version of the
paper Using HP-UX Workload Manager with BEA WebLogic expands the
methods for controlling instances to control WebLogic Server clusters.
Tools in WebLogicTK
WebLogicTK includes a white paper and example configuration files that
demonstrate resource separation of WebLogic-based workloads. It also
includes the data collector wlmwlsdc, which tracks metrics for WebLogic
instances. Also, WebLogicTK provides the expsmooth utility for
smoothing values from WLM data collectors by computing a running
average in which the importance of old values diminishes (decays) over
time.
How do I get started with WebLogicTK
The best way to use WebLogicTK is to read the white paper Using
HP-UX Workload Manager with BEA WebLogic Server available from
/opt/wlm/toolkits/weblogic/doc/weblogic_wlm_howto.html and at the
following Web site:
http://www.hp.com/go/wlm
The paper guides you through example WLM configurations that show
how to manage various types of WebLogic instances.
