	Early Warning, Power Troubleshooting, and Optimization for TIBCO^® ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Users of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks (BW) face numerous challenges resulting from the lack of information regarding their BW infrastructure. Fundamental requirements for monitoring, troubleshooting and optimization are difficult to meet. In particular, two key BW metrics must be carefully managed: memory consumption and process execution times. However, to do so, users need to have: early warning of issues visibility into the performance of the activities that comprise a process an understanding of memory consumption insight into resource allocation and capacity access to correlated information and historical trends for troubleshooting, change management and optimization This white paper discusses how SL’s RTView® for APM \| BW Monitor® enables BusinessWorks users to gain early warning of problems, provide deep analytics and troubleshooting to quickly and fully resolve issues relating to BW implementations, and ultimately save money through the optimization of their BW services.

	360˚ Application Performance Management: Best Practices for Gaining Comprehensive Visibility Into Enterprise Application Performance APM focuses on monitoring and managing the performance and service availability of software applications. Enterprise companies are increasingly seeking holistic, or 360°, APM solutions, capable of monitoring and managing a broad range of applications. This white paper covers the challenges that organizations face in seeking to achieve 360° visibility, key requirements for a solution, and recommended architectures and best practices in order to: Provide a single view into the performance of a wide variety of applications including custom applications Enable drill-down from holistic application service views to the component level to help determine root cause and initiate repair Provide early detection/preventative care through continuous analysis of application performance with historical context Deliver a solution that is easy and non-invasive to integrate, and cost-effective to deploy and maintain

	Application Performance Management (APM) for TIBCO Users: Extending Visibility Across Your TIBCO Infrastructure and Beyond TIBCO users may wish to expand IT monitoring and management beyond their TIBCO infrastructure. Many SL customers have chosen to extend their TIBCO monitoring and visualization application to a broader Application Performance Management (APM) solution, delivering single-pane-of-glass visibility across their heterogeneous application and IT infrastructure. Leveraging the broader RTView platform, TIBCO users can deliver an APM solution in order to: Provide early detection/preventative care relating to application issues to reduce the number of trouble tickets Determine root cause more quickly and have the power to fix a problem then-and-there in order to reduce the MTTR Deliver a comprehensive, integrated solution that reduces overall TCO

	RTView for TIBCO: Enhanced Visibility of Your TIBCO® Infrastructure RTView for TIBCO is a software application developed by SL Corporation^® that enables users to leverage their TIBCO investment by dramatically enhancing visibility into their infrastructure. RTView provides a flexible, configurable, out-of-the-box solution to help enterprises optimize their monitoring of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™, TIBCO Hawk^® and TIBCO Rendezvous^® applications by visually presenting real-time and archived data from the TIBCO Information Bus (TIB) and other data sources, all without programming. The purpose of this whitepaper is to review a number of ways TIBCO users are able to increase productivity by improving the visibility of their TIBCO infrastructure. Several use cases are presented along with an overview of the solution architecture.

	RTView for Operational and Strategic Dashboards Business intelligence has been given a new face with the advent of information being delivered to the desktop via graphical information dashboards. Typically delivered via browser or enterprise portals, these dashboards have increased the demand for information used by companies to dynamically generate new revenue, reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
