Optimizing Research Of Operation & Maintenance Of IBM Was Middleware

In this research topic, we will try to optimize the several aspects of Operation and Maintenance of IBM Websphere Application server middleware(WAS) by taking advantage of the experiences and technical skills of the middleware production, aiming at the strong requirement of the customer, analyzing and summing up the current situation and shortcomings in the current daily administration of WAS etc.. We will try to resolve a series of problems of the customer daily administration work, including low efficiency of manual operation in the installation and configuration process of the products, unsystematic and nonstandard of the maintenance knowledge and skills etc. to achieve automation, systematic and standardization of the operation and maintenance of WAS product, to improve the efficiency and quality of the work.The research methods of this topic include the technical researching, tools developing, simulation testing and implement verification. by analyzing the current situation of WAS middleware operation & maintenance, and the improve requirement of the four aspects of WAS operation & maintenance include the product installation and configuration, daily running monitoring, performance tuning and troubleshooting, we provide an effective solution for these four aspects, include: 1.By developing a script tool, to achieve automatic installation, upgrade and configuration for huge WAS environment with one click,and then also achieve standardization and unification for WAS environment; 2.By developing another script tool and creating a series of healthy policy to achieve automatic System running state checking and responding;3.By analyzing the request flow through the components of WAS to find out the possible performance bottleneck within these components, and then locate the actual bottlenecks by the performance monitor, to achieve fast performance tuning;4.By creating automatic data collection policy and automatic recovery policy to achieve a shorter response time and a higher success rate when dealing with an issue.The process of this research includes the current situation analyzing, requirement analyzing, function designing and developing, testing in the test environment and verification in the product environment.The idea and research achievement of this topic can be used and popularized in many similar scenes of WAS operation and Maintenance of the large-scale Enterprises to resolve the practical problems of the daily work. This topic has a great practical value.The technical skills used in this topic including Middleware, JVM, Shell and Python programming. The one click installation and configuration script in writing with KSH and the automatic System status Check script is writhing with Python.
