This chapter describes how to monitor and tune Sun Java™ System Portal Server software, including the Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access product.

Moving to a Production Environment
Moving to a production environment occurs after you have thoroughly tested your portal and operated it as a trial deployment to test and refine your design.
Monitoring and Tuning
Monitoring and tuning your portal deployment is an ongoing, cyclical process, in which you look for bottlenecks and other performance issues.
With monitoring and tuning your portal, keep the following points in mind:
•Beginning with the trial portal, define a baseline performance for your deployment, before you add in the full complexity of the project.
•Using this initial benchmark, define the transaction volume your organization is committed to supporting in the short term and in the long run.
