Analyzing trace information using profiling tools
Contents
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.
