Overview

Trade3 is the third generation of the WebSphere end-to-end benchmark and performance sample application (the previous one is called Trade2). The new Trade3 benchmark has been re-designed and developed to cover WebSphere's significantly expanding programming model. It provides a real-world workload driving WebSphere's implementation of Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.3 and Web Services, including key WebSphere performance components and features. The goal of this article is to lead new users through some simple steps to quickly get an environment running without spending lot of time going through the lengthy manuals and readme files. Furthermore, the article also shows the reader how to install and configure a powerful performance testing tool (Web Performance Tool, or WPT) to drive and test the Trade3 application. By following some straightforward instructions, this article will show you Trade3 and WPT in a WebSphere and DB2 UDB environment.

Highlights include:

Installing DB2 UDB Version 8.1
Installing WebSphere Application Server Version 5
Installing WPT
Setting up the Trade3 application
Test drive
