Course overview
This course teaches you how to monitor and tune WebSphere
Application Servers for improved performance.

You learn about performance tuning methods and monitoring tools that
apply to both the application server environment and Java EE
applications.

These methods and tools for load testing, monitoring, and tuning are
applied to various WebSphere components, such as the application
server’s Java virtual machine (JVM), JDBC connection pools, JMS
resources, and the general runtime environment.
