To monitor the IBM WebSphere 5 application server in the Performance Measurements Manager Wizard, you need to install the supported IBM WebSphere 5 software and configure the IBM WebSphere 5 server.
To enable the PMM to monitor the IBM WebSphere 5 application server, you need to install the IBM WebSphere Application Server WAS, Version 5 Application Client software.
For information about obtaining and installing the WebSphere 5 Application Client software, refer to the WebSphere info center at http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/infocenter.html or contact IBM.
When this software package is not installed or has not been installed properly, the ability to monitor WebSphere 5 using WAS is not available and WebLOAD might show one of the following error messages:
Ÿ The IBM J2EE Client version x (required for probing WebSphere) is not installed. Please install the IBM J2EE Client.
