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