Application Performance Management Introduction to Adaptive Instrumentation With Precise Indepth for J2EE

Adaptive Instrumentation is a patent-pending technology that automatically discovers and isolates the major contributors to poor performance in Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications while minimizing overhead. This paper reviews the traditional approach to monitoring J2EE applications, lists problems associated with this approach, and explains how Adaptive Instrumentation resolves these problems. A glossary of basic terms used throughout this paper is included in Appendix A. The introduction of new technology from SAP and the ensuing complex architecture can impose new challenges on organizations that wish to upgrade to these newer versions. Should such an upgrade happen, the organization may expect it to require an outlay of as much as 50% of their initial SAP investment - in terms of both cost and time?
