Well, "I" know very little about the environment, but I will send an email asking for more details.

There are a bunch of products that run under the brand name of WebSphere. From the type of workload (java) you are describing, it appears you maybe talking about Application Server. Could you elaborate a little on the actual product and its version.

I was chatting with the manager of the tech support group at another company and he was telling me that in his shop they experience a terrible slowdown in WebSphere most afternoons; "sucks the life out of the machine" comes to mind. They do not have anyone that does performance or capacity work to "run the numbers"; and they collect very little SMF data even if they did or knew how to "run the numbers". He thinks it's the application programmers poorly written code, probably Java doing some daily end of day stuff. To make matters worse, they are still on 1.4, with plans to make a brief stopover on 1.7 before heading off to 1.9.>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html No virus found in this incoming message.
