The data collection infrastructure must be installed on any computer from which you want to collect performance data. If you are instrumenting a WebSphere® application server, the application server must be running. The Application Server Instrumenter prompts you to restart BEA WebLogic application servers. You must have root or administrator user privileges to instrument servers.
To instrument a Linux computer that is equipped with the 64-bit version of IBM® WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.1, where the server is named server2, the server is installed in the /opt/WebSphere/AppServer directory, with the profile name set to the default value, and security enabled:
To instrument a Microsoft Windows computer that is equipped with a BEA WebLogic 10 application server named server1 that is installed in the C:\bea\weblogic10 directory, using the 32-bit version of JRockit JVM, and the C:\bea\weblogic10\mydomain\startWebLogic.cmd start script file :
Repeat the instrumentation steps for every application server that is involved in data collection for the applications that you will profile. Typically, there will be only one application server. You can instrument only one local application server per computer.
