OpenEdge Application Server:<br />Administration Monitoring and tuning Web services

To monitor a Web service, inspect its statistics. To tune it, adjust its properties. You can perform these tasks using the Progress Explorer or the WSAMAN utility. Table 6–6 lists the types of statistics gathered for a Web service.

For more information on the statistics of a Web service, see Progress Explorer’s online help.

If the Web service uses a NameServer and is session free, the Web service has a connection pool, with properties you can adjust. If the Web service is session managed, it can be set to store multiple requests to the service or repeat them. In either case, for more information, see Appendix A, "Reference to Progress 4GL Web Service Properties" and the Progress Explorer online help.
