Analyzing trace information using profiling tools
After you have created a trace file, the easiest way to analyze
it is to use the profiling tools provided on the Tool tab of the
New dialog box. There are three tools:
-
The Profiling Class View shows information about the objects
that were used in the application -
The Profiling Routine View shows information about
all the routines (functions and events) that were used in the application -
The Profiling Trace View shows the elapsed time
taken by each activity in chronological order
Using the profiling tools as a model
Even if you want to develop your own analysis
tools, using the profiling tools is a good way to learn about these
models and about profiling in PowerBuilder. When you are ready to
develop your own tools, see “Analyzing trace information
programmatically” for an overview of the approaches you
can take.
