To capture resource monitoring
data from Oracle WebLogic Server, you must configure the data source.
Before you begin
To capture resource monitoring data from Oracle WebLogic Server,
you must specify the path to the client files:
- wljmxclient.jar
- wljmsclient.jar
- wlclient.jar
Specify the path to the client files on the
Oracle
WebLogic Client Preferences page. The Oracle WebLogic client
files are provided with Oracle WebLogic, not with
IBM® Rational® Performance Tester,
so you must copy the client files from the server to a folder on the
workbench computer. The versions of the client files must match the
version of Oracle WebLogic Server running on the server under test.
By default, for Oracle WebLogic Server 10g Release 3 (10.3), the client
files are installed in the
c:\bea\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\ folder.
Procedure
- On the Location page, specify the
connection and authentication information for the computer that runs
the Administration Server instance of Oracle WebLogic Server for the
domain. If you need to change the port that is used to communicate
with the Administration Server for the domain, change the information
in Connection. Typically, your WebLogic system
administrator specifies this information. An Oracle WebLogic
domain consists of one or more Oracle WebLogic Server instances. One
server is the Administration Server. If you want to collect resource
monitoring from an Oracle WebLogic domain that consisting of multiple
servers, the specified host must be the Administration Server. The
Administration Server is also known as the domain controller.
- If administrative security is enabled on the Administration
Server, select Administrative security enabled.
- Type the user ID and password for Oracle WebLogic Server
in Authentication.
- Select Save Password to save
your password locally. If you do not save your password, you might
be prompted for it (depending on the host system configuration) when
you edit the configured location or when you run test schedules that
use the location.
- On the Resource page, select the type
of data to capture. The tree view shows the application servers that
the Administration Server manages and their counter groups and counters.
Be selective; monitoring all possible resource data requires substantial
amounts of memory. Clear the Show only selected counters check
box to see all available counters. Hold your mouse pointer over a
counter to see details about what that counter measures.
- Configure the options on the Options page.
- In Polling Interval specify in
seconds the interval for collecting resource data. For example, if
you accept the default of 5 seconds, counter information is collected
at 5-second intervals from the specified host during the schedule
run.
- In Timeout Interval specify in
seconds the time to wait for a response. If the resource monitoring
host does not respond within this amount of time during a schedule
run, an error is logged.
