8. What are the performance implications of placing an APM Cluster on one box for Production (colocation)? TEC1502115
http://www.ca.com/us/support/ca-support-online/product-content/knowledgebase-articles/TEC1502115.aspx
Description:
Often customers place all their EMs on one server. (Colocation) The APM Sizing and Performance Guide discusses these cases:
1) Running multiple Collectors on a single computer.
2) Running multiple MOMs on a single computer.
3) Running a MOM with multiple collectors on a single computer.
4) Colocation with the APM Database and some combination of above on a single computer.
5) Colocation with an EEM and some combination of above on a single computer.
What are the tradeoffs of doing this?

13. Information about com.wily.introscope.agent.simpleInstanceCounter.referenceTrackingLimit TEC547492
http://www.ca.com/us/support/ca-support-online/product-content/knowledgebase-articles/TEC547492.aspx
Description:
This is information about the usage of the com.wily.introscope.agent.simpleInstanceCounter.referenceTrackingLimit, introduced in APM 9.0.5.
Error message:
When monitoring instance counts, the following error may occur:
[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] SimpleInstanceCounter: while tracking instances of type
com.mycompany.myclass, too many instances are being tracked in a short interval. Clamp limit of 25000 has reached and tracking new instances will stop. To raise clamp limit, add property com.wily.introscope.agent.simpleInstanceCounter.referenceTrackingLimit
Environment
Valid for both Java and .NET. Introscope agent 9.0.5 or higher.
This information supercedes the APM Known Issues document for accuracy as property is incorrectly documented, and document does not state that this can be used with Java agent.
14. Percentile calculations in APM CE (CEM) Analysis Graph Statistics Reports TEC614675
http://www.ca.com/us/support/ca-support-online/product-content/knowledgebase-articles/TEC614675.aspx
Description:
Provides more details on the percentile calculations in APM CE (CEM) Analysis Graph Statistics Reports. Of particular interest is the calculation for the 95th percentile.
For example, the transaction time (seconds) for a set of 10 transactions is: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 10, 10. (Note that these transactions are sorted from fastest to slowest.)
What does APM CE (CEM) show for the 95 percentile time? Will it be 10 seconds or a value doing some averaging?

http://www.ca.com/us/support/ca-support-online/product-content/knowledgebase-articles/TEC604200.aspx
Description:
What is the difference between the jar files:
1. Agent.jar - canRedefine and canRetransform settings are both set to true
2. AgentNoRedef.jar - canRedefine setting is set to false (no longer used)
3. AgentNoRetrans.jar - canRetransform setting is set to false (no longer used)
4. AgentNoRedefNoRetrans.jar - canRedefine and canRetransform settings are both set to false. With the introduction of the retransformation option in the IBM JVM 1.6 this jar was developed to address performance issues being experienced by some clients and replaces the AgentNoRedef.jar and AgentNoRetrans.jar
