The IBM® HTTP server is often an important part of e-business performance. IBM provides several options and configuration choices that allow you to get the most out of this server.
IBM HTTP server for iSeries™ can play an important role in the end-to-end performance of your Web-based applications, and several new improvements allow you to effectively monitor and improve Web server performance. In particular the new Fast Response Caching Accelerator (FRCA) may allow you to significantly improve HTTP server performance, particularly in predominantly static environments.
Refer to the following resources for information on how to maximize HTTP server performance.
- Collection Services
- You can use Collection Services to collect HTTP server performance data and monitor the results over time. The performance data files QAPMHTTPB and QAPMHTTPD store HTTP server data for each collection interval. QAPMHTTPB provides basic information, while QAPMHTTPD provides more detailed statistics. You can query these data files directly, or refer to the System and Component reports in the Performance Tools Licensed Program.
