There are two primary data collection environments supported by these tools:
- Production (or deployment) environment - The application has been
deployed into a live environment where users are accessing it and where it
is managed by a system administrator and Tivoli® Monitoring for Transaction Performance
(TMTP), IBM® Tivoli Composite
Application Manager for Response Time Tracking (ITCAM RTT), or IBM Tivoli Composite
Application Manager for WebSphere® (ITCAM WebSphere). When you analyze applications
in a production environment, the data you are working with is data from past
activity that has been stored in a database, which is queried, collected,
and imported for analysis.
- Development (or test) environment - The application is still in
the development cycle (code is being added and changed) or under test, but
has not yet been deployed to a production environment. When you analyze applications
in a development environment, you work with data that you are collecting
in real time. The data collection infrastructure streams performance data
back to the workbench while the application executes.
