Are there any OpenVMS system tools to monitor WebLogics system performance?
Yes, WebLogic combined with the Java Virtual Machine is extremely memory intensive. Along with using standard OpenVMS tuning tools (like T4), you can also use the standard monitoring utilities. For example use “$ MONITOR PROCESS/TOP_FAULT” to see if WebLogic is the highest faulting process, then use “$ MONITOR PAGE” to gather more information. If WebLogic is constantly one of the Top Page Faulting processes, you might want to increase WebLogic’s “WSEXTENT” UAF parameter along with the sysgen parameter WSMAX. Except for process startup, the best result would be to eliminate paging for the Weblogic process. However, on a system with a low free list, your goal might be to reduce paging for the WebLogic process without causing the other applications on the system to start paging heavily.
