All,
I have been running in circles on this problem. I needed to profile my
server in the standalone mode and I only need to record profiling data in
between particular method calls. So I thought I would specify
STACK_INFORMATION=contiguous in my profile and that would do it.
Unfortunately when i start my server it says that this option is not
valid. Documentation states that this is the valid option but i cant
specify anything except "none" and "normal". Are the other options
supported? Is there another way to accomplish what I want to accomplish in
the standalone mode?
I have Agent Controller 4.4.0.1 installed.
Here is the command line that I am using:
-agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone,filters=f ilters.txt,file=trace.trcxml,profile=options.pro;HeapProf:al locsites=true

I just add this line to my options.pro:
STACK_INFORMATION=contiguous

I even looked in Options.cpp in JPIAgent library and it seems like it
doesnt support any other option besides "none" and "normal"

I really could use any help.. I bet I am missing something obvious.

Thanks,
Roman

The profiling scenario you describe (recording profiling data in between
particular method calls) is not supported by the new Java 1.5+ profiler.
The STACK_INFORMATION option is also not supported (by-the-way, it
serves a different purpose).

If you have a Java 1.4.x or 1.5 JVM, you can use the "old" Java 1.5-
profiler to profile your application. The old profiler is launched with
a different command line: -XrunpiAgent:....

Please refer to the on line documentation for the exact command line
arguments.

HTH,
Asaf
