智慧型管理 and IBM Enterprise Workload Manager
You can enable 智慧型管理 to work with other autonomic managers, such as IBM® Enterprise Workload Manager™.
If you enable the on demand router (ODR) to report request metrics, Application Response Measurement (ARM) -enabled autonomic managers like Enterprise Workload Manager can influence how requests are processed in 智慧型管理. Enterprise Workload Manager has knowledge and control outside of the 智慧型管理 domain. Enterprise Workload Manager can use the request metrics to determine if service class policies and transaction class policies that are defined in the Enterprise Workload Manager configuration are met. If you need to make changes to meet the requirements, Enterprise Workload Manager uses its knowledge and control outside of 智慧型管理 to assist 智慧型管理 in meeting the broader response time goals for Enterprise Workload Manager.
Support of ARM instrumentation in the ODR enables the reporting of response time metrics on a per transaction basis. ARM is an industry standard for accurate measurements of request and response transactions as they move through various tiers of applications. For more information about ARM and request metrics, see the WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment Information Center.
Any tiers that send requests to 智慧型管理 must be ARM-enabled to facilitate the interaction between Enterprise Workload Manager and 智慧型管理. Any tiers that receive requests from 智慧型管理 do not need to have ARM enabled, however, enabling ARM on these tiers is encouraged. For example, enable ARM on all application servers in software that works in cooperation with 智慧型管理, such as IBM DB2® and so on. Enterprise Workload Manager can make resource level measurements for tiers that do not have ARM enabled. You can also enable ARM reporting on any Web servers that forward requests to the ODR.
