You can use collection services to collect Application Response Measurement (ARM) performance data.
The ARM APIs collect the performance data for ARM transactions. (The ARM APIs are a set of APIs developed by the Open Group to allow applications to report the progress of application transactions.) These transactions are reported in the QAPMARMTRT and QAPMUSRTNS database files.
Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM) is a robust performance management tool that allows you to view the performance of work that runs in your business environment. Furthermore, EWLM allows you to assign performance goals to specific work. This allows you to monitor application-level transactions separate from operating system processes or monitor the work that a partition processes as a whole entity. EWLM encourages middleware and third-party software vendors to instrument their applications with the Open Group Application Response Measurement 4.0 (ARM) APIs. EWLM uses the ARM APIs to collect detailed performance data from ARM applications.
