This tutorial describes how you can use a business space to monitor the health of your WebSphere® Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus solution. The System Health widget provides a single place from which you can quickly assess the status of application servers, nodes, clusters, deployment environments, messaging engines and their queues, databases, system applications, and failed events.
This tutorial uses a widget that contains content from WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. One of those products must be installed. If a product is not installed, Business Space replaces its widgets with an image and a message.
Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to view and use System Health. This task is typically performed by users with an administrator role.
If you are using System Health in a deployment environment, the deployment manager must be running.
This tutorial assumes that your daily responsibilities include monitoring the health of your WebSphere Process Server or Enterprise Service Bus solution, making sure that all components are in their expected states (stopped or started). To perform this duty, you use Business Space and complete the following steps.
In this tutorial, you focus only on billing-related applications. All these applications are deployed to clusters in the BillingActivity deployment environment, all contain the word billing in their names, and all are deployed to clusters that contain the word bill in their names (for example, CustomerBillingCluster1 and VendorBillCluster).
