Collecting probe data: Special situations

In most cases, the section Collecting probe data: Basic usage provides all the information required for using probes. Alternative ways of collecting data are available, however, if you prefer to use them, or if your own situation requires you to use one of them. You must use one of these approaches if you cannot launch your application from the Profile dialog box, if you cannot use Agent Controller, or if you cannot use the JVMPI agent (piAgent) with the application from which you want to collect data.
