You can obtain data for performance analysis of a distributed program
by importing trace files (trcxml files) that contain performance
data, one file for the server and one for the client.
Prerequisite: The trace files must contain data collected using
Tivoli ARM data collector, which is available, along with documentation for
its use, in the IBM Rational Performance Optimization Toolkit for Rational
Performance Tester.
To import trace files:
- From the Software Development Platform menu bar, click .
- Select Profiling file, then click Next.
- In the Import window, enter the name of the trace file that contains
the server data.
- Specify the name of the Project and Monitor to which you want to
import the trace file.
- Click Show full data (execution flow graphical details),
then click Finish.
- Repeat the same steps to import the trace file that contains the
client data.
You can now analyze this data in the Performance Call Graph and Method
Detail views.
