0.22.1: What is workload management?

Workload management optimizes the distribution of client processing tasks. Incoming work requests are distributed to the application servers, enterprise beans, servlets, and other objects that can most effectively process the requests. Workload management also provides failover when servers are not available, improving application availability.

In the WebSphere Application Server environment, workload management is implemented by using servlet groups and clones; transports; and workload management-enabled Java Archive (JAR) files for enterprise beans. Administrative servers can also participate in workload management.
