Databases configuration and replication

Data management plays a major role in WebSphere® Business Monitor.

The database architecture of WebSphere Business Monitor supports the following requirements:

The usage patterns of the data in the WebSphere Business Monitor databases differ according to the using component. The data is used by two major components: the event processor and the client dashboards. This difference in usage makes it essential to split the database of the event processing from the database of the dashboards. The data can be further classified into information associated with a business measures model and information about processing events.

The dashboards display two types of data, recent data and historical instances data. The number of recent instances is very small compared to the number of historical instances. The queries performed on the recent instances need to be extremely fast and must not be affected by the large number of historical instances. The two types of data have been split into two databases, Runtime and Historical. To enhance performance, the architecture supports all functions with the following:
The WebSphere Business Monitor databases are divided into four different databases:
Two databases store the monitored events and the Adaptive Action Manager data. These databases are used internally by the WebSphere Business Monitor. No information related to process instances or metrics is stored in them.
