System and method for providing a work manager in a multitenant application server environment
First Claim
1. A system for providing a work manager for use in an application server environment, comprising:
- one or more computers, including an application server that enables deployment and execution of software applications, wherein the application server is associated with a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define a domain for execution of the software applications, and a plurality of partitions,wherein each of the plurality of partitions are associated with a partition configuration, and wherein each partition provides a subdivision of the domain and includes one or more resource groups;
a partition work manager configured to assign a fair share value to each of the plurality of partitions within the application server environment, each fair share value configured for use by the system to control thread usage associated with software applications executing in each of the plurality of partitions; and
a plurality of partition-level work managers, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is associated with a different partition-level work manager of the plurality of partition-level work managers, and wherein an initial configuration of each of the partition-level work managers is determined by the configuration of the partition work manager.

Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing a work manager for use in an application server environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a system administrator can configure a partition work manager to provide partition work request prioritization (fair share value) to each partition within a multitenant application server environment. The system administrator can additionally configure the partition work manager to impose a minimum threads constraint limit, a partition capacity constraint, and/or a partition maximum threads constraint, all of which restrict the use of thread resources by the partitions within the environment.

9. A method for providing a work manager for use in an application server environment, comprising:
-
providing, at one or more computers, including an application server that enables deployment and execution of software applications, a plurality of partitions, wherein the application server is associated with a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define a domain for execution of the software applications, wherein each of the plurality of partitions are associated with a partition configuration, and wherein each partition provides a subdivision of the domain and includes one or more resource groups; providing a partition work manager, the partition work manager being configurable; configuring the partition work manager to assign a fair share value to each of the plurality of partitions within the application server environment, each fair share value configured for use by the system to control thread usage associated with software applications executing in the plurality of partitions; and providing a plurality of partition-level work managers, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is associated with a different partition-level work manager of the plurality of partition-level work managers, and wherein an initial configuration of each of the partition-level work managers is determined by the configuration of the partition work manager. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon which when read and executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform the steps comprising:
-
providing, at one or more computers, including an application server that enables deployment and execution of software applications, a plurality of partitions, wherein the application server is associated with a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define a domain for execution of the software applications, wherein each of the plurality of partitions are associated with a partition configuration, and wherein each partition provides a subdivision of the domain and includes one or more resource groups; providing a partition work manager, the partition work manager being configurable; configuring the partition work manager to assign a fair share value to each of the plurality of partitions within the application server environment, each fair share value configured for use by the system to control thread usage associated with software applications executing in the plurality of partitions; and providing a plurality of partition-level work managers, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is associated with a different partition-level work manager of the plurality of partition-level work managers, and wherein an initial configuration of each of the partition-level work managers is determined by the configuration of the partition work manager. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
