Hi Mitch,

Thanks to both you and Simon. I was hoping that there was something that would give the base WebSphere activity level or threads given some load. Then I could add an educated guess for the number of users. I will look into the Web Performance Advisor.

I am monitoring the threads entry that QPRFADJ makes. As a fallback, if necessary, I will use the value differential when we move WAS from *BASE. While I believe Simon's thread/job explanation, I think this is like some other areas of the AS/400 in that I'm not sure that's the entire story. For example, QPRFADJ currently has things at a little over 300 for *BASE activity level. The application supports around 2000 users, and WAS all by itself runs many threads. I realize the significance of *concurrent* threads, but still...

Anyhow, thanks for your responses. If any of the WAS or Java team happens to see this, I believe any info would be helpful to many more than just me.

Joe Sam,



The email server that hosts my account subscription information is apparently on the blink; I've tried to respond to the list but it ain't happening, so I am taking the liberty of responding directly to you from my home account.


The Web Performance Advisor can give you an IBM perspective on it. I forget which HTTP Group (5.4) implemented it, but it does give you some collection statistics and makes recommendations. I can't swear to the accuracy of them, but the rationale in the popup helps seems to be reasonable. (Of course, it does add "some" overhead, but you could turn it on and get your info then turn it off.)

Check the Infocenter, and the appropriate WAS Infocenter.
