Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature architecture: A
sample configuration
The Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature has two components
that must be installed:
- Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Activation
- Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Client
You must install the Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature
Activation Kit on your Performance Expert Server, which licenses your
Performance Expert Server to use the extended insight capabilities.
You must install the Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Client
on the following units:
- On all database client machines that are to be monitored
- On all machines with the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ
that are collecting monitoring data
Figure 1 illustrates a configuration using DB2
Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature to monitor Java
applications that access DB2 on Linux®, UNIX, and Windows. The
Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Client is installed on the
box where your Java application is located, which uses the IBM Data
Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ for database access.

Configuration without WebSphere Application Server
Figure 2 shows a typical sample configuration that
includes WebSphere Application Server. The Performance Expert Extended
Insight Feature Client is installed on the WebSphere Application
Server.
Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Activation (License) is
installed on the Performance Expert V3.2 Server. By using DB2
Performance Expert end-to-end monitor, the DBA now has insight into
the WebSphere Application Server configuration, number of connection
pool size max, connection pool size high water mark, max allowed in
connection pool size, client time, network time, and more.

configuration using WebSphere Application Server
Mixing your UNIX
platforms
With DB2 Performance Expert Extended Insight, you can use different
UNIX platforms (IBM AIX®, Sun Solaris, Linux 32-bit, Linux
64-bit, and HPU-UX). For example, DB2 Performance Expert Server could
be on AIX, and WebSphere Application Server, the Java technology
application, or both could be on Linux. For this tutorial, the DB2
Performance Expert Sever is on AIX, and the WebSphere Application
Server is on Linux 64-bit.
