These are my links for December 16th through January 5th:
- Death by ITIL: How IT departments streamline themselves into oblivion – What I do find troubling is that IT management nearly always disregards the fact that methodology is secondary to objectives. If only could they ask themselves a simple question of “What are we trying to achieve?” more often! We could achieve results more expeditiously, while avoiding unnecessary and time-consuming undertakings. When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. When the only answer one has to any IT management question is “ITIL,” you can be sure that it’s not going to end well.
- 101 on Prototype CSS Selectors Performance, Scalability and Architecture – Java and .NET Application Performance Management (dynaTrace Blog) – As with any JavaScript framework that offers a variety of CSS Selectors you need to know what is actually going on when using them. They are flexible and easy to use. But keep in mind that certain browsers (especially IE) have limitations when it comes to selections by Class Name. Also – the larger the DOM Tree becomes the more overhead you have when using any other lookup method than by id or tagname – in all these cases the JavaScript framework needs to iterate the complete DOM.
- The Rise of Continuous Application Performance Management | CTO Edge – A good example of a company trying to reinvent the way we think about application performance management is dynaTrace. Founded by a team that cut their teeth at Wily Technology, which was acquired by CA, dynaTrace is trying to pioneer the concept of continuous application performance management that relies on what company officials describe as “bottom-up approach.” What that translates to in practical reality is that dynaTrace has found a way to continuously monitor all application events using agent software distributed throughout the enterprise.
- IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager V4.2.1 Fix Pack 1(4.2.1-TIV-BSM-FP0001) – Abstract

- A Step-by-Step Guide to dynaTrace AJAX Edition | AJAX & RIA Journal – The dynaTrace AJAX Edition has been out there as an Alpha for a couple of weeks. It gave you the first impression what was to come. All the feedback we have received (like that from Steve Souders, and all that has come in via the contact form and the online forum) in that time made it possible to improve the tool from its early versions to its first "official" release version.
In this article I'll discuss why dynaTrace Labs built the AJAX Edition, which problems it solves and how to use it in an example with Google maps.
- Business Transaction Management – In a world of TLAs, it is always interesting when you come across a new one; in my case it was BTM (Business Transaction Management). For those of us concerned with the development and improvement of business processes, we already have the TLA BAM (Business Activity Monitoring or Management). So what if the difference between BTM and BAM I hear you say?
Wikipedia defines BTM as “an approach to managing IT from a business transaction perspective. BTM aims to guarantee service quality for users conducting business transactions while simultaneously optimizing the IT applications and infrastructure across which those transactions execute.” It requires the ability to capture and to track all transactions, across all IT tiers, automatically and continuously. The only problem with this definition is what is meant by the term “business transaction”?
