Abstract:
1. A method of tuning an application deployed in an application server, comprising a processor operable to execute computer program instructions, a memory operable to store the computer program instructions executable by the processor, and the computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable to perform the method comprising the steps of: deploying the application in the application server; invoking an application tuning server-side component operable to retrieve information relating to parameters of the deployed application that are to be tuned, comprising current values of the parameters of the deployed application that are to be tuned and measurements of performance of the application effected by the current values of the parameters, wherein the information relating to each parameter is accessible by the selection of a tab for each respective parameter and the current values of each of the parameters and controls that allow the current values of the parameter to be modified are displayed in a parameter panel and the measurements of performance affected by the values of the parameters and controls that allow for the values of the parameters to be determined are displayed in a measurement panel; displaying the information specifically relating to a parameter of the parameters of the deployed application and at least one measurement of performance of the application effected by the current value of the parameter in response to the selection of an object associated with the parameter from a display; receiving specifications of values of application tuning parameters; tuning the deployed application using the received specified parameter values by modifying the current value of the parameter being used by the deployed application; and displaying an effect of the modification of the value of the parameter of the deployed application to the at least one measurement of the performance of the application in the display of the information specifically relating to the parameter in real time.
