Profiling WebMethods services?

Question

What techniques are available to profile services running in WebMethods Integration Server?

That is, to obtain data which would indicate which parts would benefit most from optimisation.

Answer 1

I was involved only in development phase so i dont know details but our system was tested with heavy load-testing and hardware was monitored during the process, it actually gave some feedback about bottlenecks. JMeter and sar were used.

Answer 2

Have you thought of trying webMUnit? You could add time logging around certain method calls to get an idea of how long things are taking to execute. However, the time logging itself will add overhead too, so just keep that in mind.

Or possibly memory profilers such as YourKit Profiler, JProfiler, JProbe etc? Im not sure about these, as I've never used them myself, but they might help by letting you know what's taking up a lot of memory etc

Answer 3

See this tools for test in web-services : Testing as Services and MEF (Manage Extensibility Framework) implementation

Check the 'Service Profiler for webMethods Integration Server' from http://www.wrightia.com/serviceprofiler.html
