Byte Code Adapter
Overview
The byte code adapter, also known as Introscope Java Agent, is part of the CA Introscope APM solution and is used in combination with the CA Introscope Enterprise Manager. The Introscope Java Agents and Introscope Enterprise Manager are used in the context of the SAP Solution Manager to collect performance data from Java applications. The main purpose is to collect data from the applications and systems running on Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). The data collected is pushed from the agents to the Introscope Enterprise Manager where it is persisted.
The following picture shows the architecture of the Introscope Java Agents in SAP NetWeaver, but the same Introscope Java Agent is also used to monitor other Java-based SAP systems, for example SAP Mobile Platform and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
