The J2EE Request Profiler is used to collect execution data from distributed applications, which may span multiple processes and hosts. This collected data can be viewed as sequence diagrams. In order to use the J2EE Request Profiler for this purpose, you must first enable it (see the related task), and then specify it as the agent of choice.
You can now proceed with application execution. Whenever the execution of the application crosses boundaries of an ORB, an additional corresponding instance of the J2EE Request Profiler will automatically appear in the Monitors view.
Note: A monitor can have multiple hosts and each of those hosts can have multiple processes. Each process will contain only one J2EE Request Profiler.
At this point everything is set for you to view the sequence diagrams. See the related task: Displaying sequence diagrams using the J2EE Request Profiler.
Note: A J2EE Request Profiler sample is shipped with the product. For instructions on how to use it, refer to its readme (File > New > Example > J2EE Request Profiler > Next > Finish).
