The Web Application Server Analysis connects to each defined Java Application Server in the BI landscape via Java Management Extensions (JMX) MBeans. Information included in this analysis includes details about the application server configuration, performance metrics, and details about the Java Virtual Machine where the SAP BusinessObjects web applications are deployed. For more information about JMX and Apache Tomcat, refer to Monitoring and Managing Tomcat.
Currently the Web Application Server Analysis is only supporting Apache Tomcat. Support for other WAS platforms (NW Java, Weblogic, Websphere) is planned for a future version
