Book description

In this book, IBM's own enterprise WebSphere experts offer authoritative, comprehensive guidance for deploying and managing WebSphere on z/OS for mainframes, UNIX®/Linux®-based distributed systems, and Windows® servers. Drawing on their extensive experience supporting enterprise customers and developing new WebSphere technologies, the authors address the entire management lifecycle: planning, installation, configuration, administration, application deployment, tuning, and troubleshooting.

This book thoroughly covers WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 and 5.1: both IBM Base WebSphere Application Server offerings and the advanced scalability and failover capabilities built into the popular IBM Network Deployment Edition. It has been designed to serve both as a comprehensive learning tool and as a rapid reference for working professionals.

Coverage includes

  • The WebSphere Application Server architecture: a detailed introduction for working administrators

  • Installation and configuration on both distributed and z/OS platforms, from planning through security

  • Assembling, deploying, and securing applications with the Application Assembly Tool and Assembly Toolkit

  • Managing WebSphere Application Server, including clustering and workload management

  • Automating administrative tasks using the powerful WebSphere scripting tools

  • Performance monitoring/tuning using both WebSphere- and system-level tools, including real-world tuning scenarios

  • A start-to-finish methodology for WebSphere troubleshooting

  • Covering z/OS, UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms

  • Learn all you need to know from IBM's own WebSphere development and advanced deployment teams

  • Includes the latest most thorough coverage WebSphere V5.0/5.1
