User Scenarios

Scenario 1: Pinpointing problems

The Application A response time slows to unusable when the server experiences even moderate throughput, while resident time is idle. Using SMF data, view the percentage of threads used in the Database Connection Pools, Thread Pools, and JCA Connection Pools. This tells you if there is a bottleneck in the application server pools. Any pool that is at or near 100% is probably being overwhelmed by the requests of application A for those resources. To fix the problem, you can create more or larger pools.
