Do you use the BEA WebLogic application server for operating your critical production business applications? Are business transactions processed through distributed applications, traversing several servers and tiers? Is your BEA WebLogic Platform running on server clusters to satisfy relentless demand for availability and performance? Is your IT infrastructure becoming less and less transparent due to inexorably increasing complexity? Will enterprise application integration (EAI) and the design and deployment of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) provide the necessary transparency? The continuous optimization of performance and tuning stability are central factors to consider when struggling with these difficult questions, and conventional tools have reached their limits in the face of such pressing demands.
dynaTrace Diagnostics^® offers the next generation solution for management of application performance 7x24 and the precise performance and stability diagnoses for your BEA environment.

Reconstruct Performance Problems Across Different BEA Servers and Tiers

For the first time, dynaTrace Diagnostics offers the unique ability to reconstruct end-to-end transactions over Java SE/EE applications deployed on BEA WebLogic Application servers and beyond to your back-end systems. The PurePaths created by dynaTrace Diagnostics allow for the rapid and intuitive diagnosis of performance and stability issues without time-consuming trial and error practices. BEA technologies, servers and tiers are recognized out-of-the-box by the automated architecture discovery feature and integrated into the analysis. Even load-balancing problems within server clusters are recognized and differentiated from errors in your applications.

BEA Remoting, T3, RMI and JMS

Regardless of whether the proprietary T3-protocol for RMI and JMS calls is used, or if RMI over IIOP has been deployed for Remoting, dynaTrace Diagnostics is up to the task – it supports all of these technologies (and others). Service-oriented architectures (SOA) with a variety of web services are also incorporated into the analysis, making a comprehensive observation of the dynamic behavior of the applications possible and practical. dynaTrace Diagnostics provides for a fast and easy diagnosis of performance problems within BEA-based Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and SOA frameworks.

Integration with BEA Workshop

To further simplify problem resolution, dynaTrace Diagnostics directly integrates with BEA Workshop through its CodeLink plug-in. Once dynaTrace Diagnostics has identified a certain source code fragment as the root cause of a particular problem, developers can directly jump from the dynaTrace Diagnostics Client to the exact location within their BEA Workshop development environment where they need to apply the necessary changes. This replaces the time and hassle often required to locate the right classes and methods within the source code with a single click.
