Deploying applications with defined service levels

Use this task to deploy your enterprise application to the dynamic cluster using defined service levels to meet your performance goals.

Before you begin

About this task

Service policies provide the ability to differentiate applications according to levels of importance and target values that can be prioritized to meet specific goals.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the application.
    • Enterprise applications: You can deploy enterprise applications to dynamic clusters that are running WebSphere® Application Server application servers. See Deploying enterprise applications for more information.
  2. Define service levels with service policies. A service policy is a user-defined business goal, and correlates to transaction and work class components. For more information, read about defining a service policy.
  3. Classify application requests with service policy work classes. In the administrative console, click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name. Click the Service Policies tab. Work classes contain Universal Resource Identifiers (URI), Web services, Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB), or Java™ Message Service (JMS) patterns and conditional rules for associating requests to transaction classes. Transaction classes are then associated with service policies. For more information, read about routing and service policies for work classes.
  4. Start the application.
    • Enterprise applications: In the administrative console, click Applications > Enterprise applications. Select the application, and click Start.

Results

You can use the WebSphere Extended Deployment system can categorize and prioritize requests according to its defined goals.

What to do next

You can use the customized charting features to see if your goals are being met. Read about dynamic charting for more information.

To achieve a healthy WebSphere Extended Deployment environment, configure health policies. Health policies are similar to service policies, except that health policies are based on a health goal for the environment. Read about configuring health management for more information.
