Monitor WebSphere Application Server

The primary targets for the WebSphere Application Server feature are the Servant Regions of the WAS Server. This situation is unlike a batch application and can be more easily compared to measuring an IMS Message Processing Region, a DB2® Stored Procedures Address Space, or other Service Address Space where several disparate pieces of work might be processing in the same address space.

When you deploy your application, you must also provide the target WAS Server. A given WAS Server can have 1 to n Servant Regions that should be measured. CA Mainframe Application Tuner assumes that you are, in all cases, aware of the name of the affected WAS Server.
