Missing execution statistics?? [message #52412] Wed, 01 February 2006 15:07 Go to next message

Hi,

I am trying to remotely profile an application. I get the execution
statistics but I see 0 times for many methods which I know is not right.
For example:
A.f() calls B.f() and times for A.f() are shown as 1.x secs but time for
B.f() is 0 when really all A.f() does is call B.f(). Is there some problem
with duplicating the same time for different methods??

I know its not a filtering issue as the method shows up in the view but
with incorrect times - could someone PLEASE help. I've already wasted a
day because of this. :(

I am using JDK1.5.0_06 and TPTP version is 4.1.0, Eclipse is 3.1.1.

Thanks!
- Jason

The number of invocations is also wrong for some methods - I know the
method is being called but its number of invocations is shown to be 0 -
any ideas? is it possible to look at the JVMPI profiled data directly to
see if its a problem with profiled data collection?

Here's what I can suggest:

This can still be a filtering issue. The profiler does sometimes show up
the methods that are suppose to be filtered out, but it displays zero
entries for their times and counters. I know, it's a strange behaviour.
Make sure the method that's showing the incorrect times is not being
filtered out.

Yes, you can profile to a file and view the content of the collected data.
In your profile launch configuration, select the profiling tab -> select
the destination tab -> 'Send profiling data to a file' -> specify the full
path of a filename with .trcxml extension -> profile -> open the file with
winzip -> extract the XML file inside it. Your problem can occur if there
is a methodEntry element for your method, but there isn't a corresponding
methodExit element for it. This can be caused by a disruption during the
collection of profiling data (e.g.: pausing or detaching an agent).

Even though TPTP 4.1 shouldn't have any problems with JDK1.5, it was only
tested with JDK1.4 so you might consider switching JDKs.

Hope this helps,
