Figure 8.5 - Middle tier monitoring information is graphically integrated with data
server monitoring statistics in Optim Performance Manager.
Extended Insight gives DBA’s insight into the application stack layers above the database, to solve
data access problems quickly. Even packaged and framework applications using the prerequisite
IBM JDBC or CLI drivers can take advantage of the additional client statistics provided via client
monitoring.
8.3.2 Identifying pureQuery Applications Using Extended Insight
pureQuery applications can take special advantage of certain Extended Insight features. In
addition to providing monitoring statistics from previously obscured stack layers, pureQuery
client monitoring also gives DBA’s important identifying information about pureQuery client
applications.
In Figure 8.1, the identity of applications issuing SQL is obscured from the DBA monitoring
the database. They are identified to the DBA only as generic, dynamic, JDBC applications.
If there are thousands of dynamic JDBC applications in the enterprise, this does not give
the DBA enough information to quickly identify the application executing a problematic SQL
statement. Java database drivers use one set of common dynamic packages to execute
dynamic SQL. The end result is that most Java workloads are grouped into one large,
shapeless, and obscure category by database monitors and workload management tools.
