Agent Controller needed for local profiling? [message #40112] Fri, 11 November 2005 21:56 Go to next message

Hello everyone,

will the Agent Controller be needed all time in the future?

I consider it a bit cumbersome to run a separate program/process just
for profiling an application locally inside Eclipse.

If locally debugging is possible without Agent Controller, why isn't
locally profiling?

I also do not understand which JRE I have to configure in
serviceconfig.xml: Does it have to be same I have configured in the
application properties? What if I'm profiling two different apps using
different JREs at the same time?

Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Great news! In TPTP v4.1, the new Integrated Agent Controller (IAC)
eliminates the need for the Agent Controller for local profiling,
statistical monitoring and test execution. The IAC is automatically
installed when the TPTP workbench is installed. The IAC is available
on-demand when the Agent Controller is not running. When profiling or
statistical monitoring, select the 'Local Direct Connection' from the Hosts
list. Test execution automatically defaults to using the IAC for local
deployments when the Agent Controller is not running. For more information,
consult the 'New and Noteworthy' document for TPTP v4.1
(http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/ >> Documentation >> Installation and Getting
Started Guides >> New and Noteworthy >> 4.1.0).

The JRE configured in the serviceconfig.xml is required for launching
remote Java processes in profiling mode through the TPTP workbench. When a
Java process is launched and profiled via the Agent Controller, the JVM
configured in the following Application entry is used:

<Application configuration="default" executable="java.exe"
location="%SYS_TEMP_DIR%" path="%JAVA_PATH%"/>

Noteworthy, the 'jvm' attribute in the root AgentControllerConfiguration
element of the serviceconfig.xml is required for internal purposes.

Hi Andreas,

The TPTP 4.1 release has not been announced yet, so please check in a few
days for the document that Paul has mentioned.

Although IAC will allow you to do locally most of what you can do with the
Agent Controller (AC), if you need to profile locally an application (which
will result in a lot of profiling data) I would recommend you to still use
the full blown Agent Controller (because of time constrains in 4.1, the
performance improvements were deferred to 4.2, where we will focus on
improving the performance of IAC so it will match AC for local scenarios).

Regards,
Marius
