Service Integration Bus Performance

Operating systems: Any system that can support the Service Integration Bus provider (such as WebSphere Application Server) and the SWT libraries from Eclipse. However, z/OS is not currently supported.

Software: SWT libraries from Eclipse

1. Download and unzip the SWT libraries from Eclipse into a directory.
2. Download and unzip the Service Integration Bus Performance client code into a directory.
3. Edit the following file:
   • Windows® platforms: env.bat
   • UNIX®-based platforms:env.sh
   This file contains three environment variables that must be tailored to your particular system's configuration, as follows:
   • The WAS_HOME variable should point to your WebSphere installation directory.
   • The SWTJARS variable should point to the directory containing the downloaded SWT JARs.
   • The SIBPerfDir variable should point to the directory containing the SIBPerf client code.
4. On some UNIX-based systems, it may be necessary to ensure that the sibperf.sh has the executable flag set on it. Use the command chmod a+x sibperf.sh.
5. Use the WebSphere admin console to enable PMI statistics, as follows:
   1. In the admin console, go to Monitoring and Tuning > Performance Monitoring Infrastructure > server.
   2. Check the Enable Performance Monitoring Infrastructure box.
   3. Click on Apply and Save.
   4. Restart the WAS server.
   Note: If the box is already checked, no action is required.

The tool can now be launched by running the sibperf (.bat or .sh) script.
